SW Vinemont-W Vinemont
North of Cullman damage was reported at Terri Pines Country Club and in the town of Vinemont. At Terri Pines several tall trees were damaged, either uprooted or snapped off at mid-trunk. One witness at the golf course reportedly saw a funnel; another witness reported a sudden end to a downpour, the sky turning black, then a sudden return of the downpour with the sky becoming lighter. From the golf course, the storm moved northeast. The tornado appeared to have lifted or weakened as it crossed I-65 with only minimal debris from the trees along the road. The tornado continued northeasterly to Vinemont just west of US 31 and south of CR 1292. The tornado reached F1 strength destroying 2 chicken barns and severely damaging a third, scattering debris at least a mile away. A mobile home downhill from the chicken barns had parts of it's roof torn off, and there were several holes in the side of the mobile home caused by debris projectiles. The final damage along the track was to a frame garage which was shifted off it's slab in a twisting motion causing it to collapse on itself. Witnesses at this location reported hearing a load roaring noise similar to a jet aircraft.

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.
