5 S Pigeye - 5 WSW Hackleburg National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northern Marion County just southwest of Hackleburg and have determined that the damage was consistent with an EF-1 tornado.

From there, the tornado moved on a north-northwest path and crossed Spurgen Dyer Road and Marion County Road 41. The tornado ultimately lifted after it crossed State Rock Road, just east of CR-32. Damage along the path was largely limited to trees that were either uprooted or snapped. A garage near the start of the path had part of its tin peeled back, and one home near the intersection of CR-41 and CR-167 received minor damage to its roof.
