The tornado touched down just northwest of the city limits of Clanton, near the intersection of CR-406 and CR-53. From there it moved east-northeast into the northern part of the city, and lifted just after crossing US-31 west of the hospital. At least five structures received damage, with much of it consisting of shingles being blown off. One garage and a gazebo were heavily damaged, and one large storage building was totally destroyed with debris scattered nearly 1 1/2 miles downstream. Eight to 10 hardwood trees were uprooted and 6 to 9 smaller hard and soft wood trees were snapped.

A strong storm system and advancing cold front caused showers and thunderstorms to develop across Central Alabama late in the afternoon on the 25th. A couple of these storms became severe, and produced tornadoes.
