Summerdale An F0 tornado briefly touched down around Alabama 59 near Summerdale in a trailer park. Several trailers had minor damage to skirting and one was shifted off its blocks. One tree had a branch blown off and an abandoned trailer on blocks was turned over. The tornado then moved east and skipped along the ground briefly touching down along County Road 38 where small trees and a fence were blown down. A Weather Service employee followed the storm east and said the funnel was rotating but it never appeared to touch down. The tornado then went back into the cloud before reaching Seminole.
