0.6 N Ellawhite - 1.1 NNE Ellawhite An EF0 tornado with winds of 80 mph touched down southeast of Uniontown, at the intersection of Cahaba Road and Yelverton Street. In this location several trees were uprooted. It then traveled northeastward, uprooting more trees oriented across the path, causing minor roof and siding damage to 5 homes. One home on Church Street was shifted off its foundation. From there the tornado traveled through a wooded area, breaking large branches off trees before it lifted. Key indicators of this weak tornado included very small amounts of leaf and grass splattering and roof damage on the downstream side of the homes. Several eyewitnesses confirmed seeing the tornado as it left the area. The path length of the tornado was approximately 0.6 miles long, with a maximum path width of 100 yards. Start: 32.4383/-87.4948 End: 32.4441/-87.4916
