Aspel
A tornado caused damage about 1 mile north of the town of Aspel, near the intersection of County Roads 11 and 101. The tornado path was approximately ½ mile long, 100 yards wide, beginning on the west side of County Road 11. The path began behind a home located on CR11. No damage was noted to the home, but several trees within 50 yards of the home were snapped off or blown down. Across CR11, two homes were struck and both received minor damage. One of the residents was asleep when the tornado struck. He said the storm was loud, rousing him from his sleep, and it was over by the time he realized what was happening. A window on the right front of his home was sucked out, a large Cedar tree just to the left of the home was broken off just above the ground and found by a back fence, approximately 300 yards northeast. Several large trees were knocked over in the backyard, and a fallen tree killed two cows. A large barn was heavily damaged, and another smaller barn had its tin roofing pulled off. The second home sustained some roof damage due to a fallen tree along with a few shingles being torn off. Several trees were also knocked down in the front yard.

NW Huntsville
A small tornado described by eye witnesses as a smooth funnel touched down in northwest Huntsville. The damage began near the intersection of Capshaw Road and Wall Triana Highway. The tornado damage path extended nearly due east for some distance before turning east-northeast and ending just west of Rideout Road. A damage survey was conducted of this event by meteorologists from UAH who described the damage path as narrow, focused, and convergent. Additional damage occurred in northeast Huntsville in the Chase area and may possibly have been another weak tornado touchdown.
