2 ENE Brundidge The tornado touched down in an open field just west of CR81 and north of Alabama Highway 10. The first indicated damages were the tin roof being removed from an older manufactured home and an uprooted hardwood. The tornado moved east-southeastward and struck a much newer manufactured home which was slightly shifted off its supports, and sustained skirting damage and a broken picture window. There was also light splatter on all four sides of the home. The tornado continued ESE, producing minor small limb damage as it crossed Alabama Highway 10. The tornado then uprooted 5 healthy pecan trees, with a slightly convergent pattern. Another hardwood was uprooted just off the shoulder north of Alabama Highway 10, also indicative of convergence. The tornado dissipated rapidly past this point and produced no further damage. Start: 31.7283/-85.7842 End: 31.7266/-85.7764
