1 NNE Owassa - 1 W Wilcox The tornado first touched down on the west side of I-65 at the Owassa Exit and crossed the interstate. The only damage noted in the area was to some fencing on the west side of I-65, however, surveillance video from a nearby gas station showed a very narrow funnel in contact with the ground that moved across the interstate before briefly lifting. The tornado touched down again on Wilcox Rd, producing minor tree damage and damaging a tin roof on a nearby structure. It is possible the tornado produced sporadic minor damage between the interstate and this final point. Start: 31.5063/-86.9244 End: 31.5085/-86.8861
