The tornado began about 7 miles southeast of Moulton and moved in a northeasterly direction to about 1.5 north of Danville where it seemed to disappear. The storm tracked varied from 100 yards to a half mile in width. The tornado was well defined having the characteristic funnel shape cloud. At Madison, it seems to have only been represented by a hailstorm. Several dwellings were demolished. The damage to timber and other property was also great and the loss of livestock was considerable.
