NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in southwestern Bullock County southeast of Hooks Crossroads and determined it was the result of an EF-1 tornado.

A tornado touched down and caused minor tree damage just east of Mascott Road. It moved east-northeastward across inaccessible forested land, and crossed Beaverdam Creek. As it approached Bullock County Road 14 in the High Ridge area, the tornado intensified and broadened, uprooting or snapping large limbs on numerous hardwood trees, especially alongside the road. The tornado then descended the High Ridge area into the valley to the east-northeast, and dissipated somewhere over inaccessible land west of Alabama Highway 223.

The data is PRELIMINARY and may be subject to change.
