1.9 SSE Scottsboro-2.5 NW Rosalie A tornado touched down in a neighborhood just north of the Jackson County Park , near Byron Road. Several trees and branches were snapped as it skipped through the neighborhood. It moved northeast to the K and K trailer Park just south of Highway 35, where it damaged a metal shed, downed multiple trees, and pushed two mobile homes (not anchored) off their foundations. As the tornado tracked northeast of Highway 35, it intensified upon reaching Barbee Road. Here, it toppled more trees, completely destroyed a small barn, and snapped 4 or 5 wooden power poles. Tree damage became more consistent and widespread as the tornado continued northeast . The most significant damage occurred along County Road 33 just south of Ruby Johnson Drive. At this location, hundreds of softwood and hardwood trees were snapped, including many very large trees. Additional minor structural damage to roofing occurred to homes along Ruby Johnson Drive, and more trees along Belle Drive were snapped and uprooted. The tornado continued to snap trees and wooden power poles as it tracked northeast, reaching the grounds of the Bellefonte TVA Facility . Here, it snapped trees in at least three separate places on the west side of the complex. The tornado appears to have lifted just beyond the Bellefonte Facility.
