0.25 | 25 | 0 | 0 | 2.2 SSW Trinity Representatives from the National Weather Service and Morgan County Emergency Management completed a survey of damage in the city of Trinity, AL. The survey found evidence of an EF-0 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, with highest winds of 65 mph. The damage was confined mostly to uprooted trees and snapped limbs. One residence sustained some damage, mainly to sheds and fencing at the back of the property. An upper level circulation or disturbance known in meteorology as a Mesoscale-Convective-Vorticity center tracked eastward through the central Tennessee Valley during the morning hours. A moist an unstable airmass enabled rapid low-topped shower development by late morning as this system tracked through the area. A brief weak tornado was sighted in Trinity. This was in close proximity to the upper level circulation mentioned above. As this shower entered Madison, AL further to the east, a NWS employee observed thunder being heard, likely from a cloud to cloud lightning flash. Otherwise, no other cloud to ground lightning was noted, making this tornado an interesting phenomenon for further study. The University of Alabama-Huntsville ARMOR dual-polarization radar located at the Huntsville International Airport was in close proximity to this tornado and identified a couple of small low-level circulations within a band these showers, one in the vicinity of the tornado.

18.32 | 500 | 1 | 2 | 2.4 E Prairie-3.8 WNW Kings Landing A significant tornado first touched down around 1227 pm at State Highway 28 near Miller's Ferry Dam. The tornado then tracked northeast across William "Bill" Dannelly Reservoir moving ashore on Sand Island Drive. This is where most of the severe damage occurred with numerous homes damaged or destroyed. One resident had arrived at his home on the lake to eat lunch when the tornado hit and he was killed when his newer model manufactured home was destroyed. The straps holding the home down all snapped in the same place. He was thrown out of his home and later found in the debris. Neighbors next door had sought shelter in an underground storm shelter outside their house seconds before the tornado hit. When they safely emerged from the shelter, they found their home destroyed. Most of the homes on Sand Island are vacation homes with part-time residents. If the tornado had struck on the weekend when more people are present, the loss of life would likely have been greater. Around 40 homes(four of these were slab homes)were damaged or destroyed along Sand Island Drive with some of the debris scattered up to two miles downstream. The tornado continued quickly to the northeast through sparsely populated areas. Damage did occur to homes and hunting camps along this path.

The injuries occurred along Sand Island Drive when a single wide trailer was destroyed with the occupants being thrown from the trailer.
