4 WNW Roanoke - 1 WNW Roanoke
NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage near Roanoke in Randolph County and determined it was the result of a tornado. A brief EF-0 tornado moved along an eastward track just north of County Road 22 in southern Randolph County. Several metal roof panels were blown off a barn on County Road 865, with a few instances of snapped tree branches and snapped, slender pine trees noted downstream. A split tree within the city limits of Roanoke fell onto an SUV. Tree damage from the December 8th snowstorm turned out to be more prominent than the tornado damage. Special thanks to the Randolph County EMA for their assistance in this survey.

4.2 NW Hatton - 4.3 NNE Hatton
The tornado looks to have touched down on CR-140 and along a forested area just west of where CR-140 and AL Highway 157 intersect. Just east of 157, a house had significant damage. The tin roof was peeled away from its wooden supports, some of which were broken. Large trees were snapped and uprooted and were laying in multiple directions. A well constructed sturdy barn with metal supports was completely mangled and collapsed. Debris from the barn and the house was tossed into the woods behind it and wrapped around trees. The tornado then tracked east, with a swath of damage bordering and along CR-140. The houses all along this road had shingle damage, as well as a few holes through the wood of the roof. Another house had an east facing door blown in with a back porch pulled away from another. One house in particular, along with roof damage, had a roof completely removed from a large car port with its supports pulled from the concrete. A trailer was also picked up and placed on top of a tractor. This house also had a row of trees completely snapped near the center of the tree. All along the road there were very large trees uprooted and trunks snapped. The tornado moved east through forested areas before impacting more houses along CR-449. One house had a window blown out and an interior door was twisted along with a small outbuilding collapsed.

3 SW Skyline - 2 S Skyline
NWS Huntsville survey team, in coordination with Jackson County EMA and UAH, found evidence of an EF-0 tornado near the Skyline area. Damage indicators in the form of extensive softwood tree damage (uprooted or snapped) were found in the vicinity of areas north of CR 17 and east of CR 79. North of CR 17, west of Manning Dr., several trees were snapped looking into the valley on the south face of Fork Mountain. Damage continued in 150-200 yard path through Manning Dr. which uprooted several trees in a noticeable convergent pattern (E to ENE). Peak winds of approx. 85 MPH were observed at this location. Several trees were uprooted or sustained large limb damage east of Manning Dr. toward CR 79. The vortex of the tornado appeared to begin to shrink and decrease in strength near CR 79. A few uprooted trees were noted east of CR 79 in the vicinity of Gizzard Point Rd.

2.5 NW Jones Chapel - 1.6 SE Jones Valley
NWS Huntsville and Cullman County EMA survey team determined a 200 yard swath of damage adjacent to widespread straightline wind damage was attributed to an EF-1 tornado. Max winds were estimated at 100 MPH. The tornado appeared to develop near the intersection of CR 1043 and CR 1047 where roof damage to a farm house was noted. The tornado continue near CR 1043 and uprooted several trees before heavily damaging a farm structure west of the CR 1043 and CR 1082 intersection. Sporatic tree limb damage was noted between CR 1082 and CR 1039 north of Jones Chapel. South of Jones Chapel, several chicken houses were severely damaged by the tornado before dissipating near the CR 991/992.

5.5 N Red Bay - 3.5 NNW Burntout
The tornado appeared to develop just west of the Alabama/Mississippi state line. Heavy tree damage was noted at the start point in Alabama which was consistent with a tornado debris signature and velocity couplet on KGWX radar, which was about 5.5 miles north of Red Bay, AL. The debris signature tracked east over heavily forested area that was not accessible by vehicle. Additional heavy tree damage was located near the end point which was consistent with the last debris signature seen on KGWX radar. Satellite data has been requested and will be used to analyze the remainder of this track but confidence is high enough in the velocity signature, the tornado debris signature and the damage to declare an EF-0 tornado. The majority of the tree damage consisted of small to medium sized trees snapped, branches twisted with one or two trees uprooted.

2 ENE Coosa Island - 5 SW Pell City
National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Southern St. Clair County near Treasure Island and determined that the damage was consistent with an EF-1 tornado. A persistent mesocyclone spun up a brief weak tornado within a line of thunderstorms as it passed through St Clair County. The tornado touched down on Logan Martin Lake just south of the eastern shore of Treasure Island. The tornado tracked northward parallel to and just off the shores of the island, with the initial damage pointing largely offshore. Four boathouses were destroyed and a few trees were snapped or uprooted here, but the path of the tornado was far enough offshore so as not to cause any structural damage to the homes another 50 to 100 feet further inland. As the tornado continued northward across a large cove, it remained completely over water. As it approached the northeastern tip of the island, which jutted out into the lake, the tornado came ashore again and peeled metal roofing off a well-built boathouse. The tornado reached maximum strength here, with 10 large hardwood trees uprooted in a concentrated area in a convergent pattern. The tornado passed offshore again and dissipated before reaching the opposite point on the lake. The tornado was .7 miles long and was 175 yards wide at its widest point. The tornado was rated an EF-1 with maximum winds around 90 mph. Thanks to the St. Clair County EMA for their assistance with this survey.
