2 SSW Eutaw - 2 SSE Moundville NWS meteorologists have confirmed via damage survey that a relatively long track QLCS tornado moved through Greene and Hale Counties. The tornado formed just southwest of the Branch Heights community on the south side of Eutaw. It moved northeast across Joseph Wilder Circle causing minor roof and tree damage. It began to intensify as it moved northeastward, removing a portion of the roof of the housing authority building, and reached its maximum intensity as it moved along Levi Morrow Sr Court. At least 40 residences in the community suffered at least visible shingle damage, with a couple residences suffering loss of much of their roofs. The tornado continued northeast, causing roof damage to a business along Highway 43, and snapping and uprooting multiple trees in a park as it crossed Highway 14 and at the Finches Ferry boat landing. The tornado then moved into Hale County through an inaccessible area east of the Black Warrior River. In Akron, several trees were uprooted and an apartment building suffered minor roof damage. The tornado continued to cause occasional tree damage as it moved just north of Highway 60. Multiple trees were then uprooted along Cedarwood Road. After this point, discerning the tornado path from sporadic tree damage caused by straight line winds in the bowing segment became difficult, but the tornado appears to have dissipated prior to crossing Highway 69. Start: 32.8184/-87.9020 End: 32.9356/-87.6329
