5 NNW Eva - 5 SSE Somerville A tornado touched down on the south side of Wilson Mountain Rd just south of the intersection with Key Turney Rd in Falkville, AL. The tornado snapped a couple of hardwood trees and did minor roof damage to a mobile home near its touchdown point. The tornado crossed Wilson Mountain Rd, heading generally in a NE direction and snapped and uprooted trees along its path. One of these hardwood trees fell on a shed at a residence on the north side of Wilson Mountain Rd. A few snapped and uprooted trees were observed along its path as it descended into Devils Cellar Hollow. A couple of large trees were also uprooted to the NE of there along a small section of Jewel Lesalle Ln. This was the last point damage was evident as the tornado moved into rugged, nearly inaccessible terrain.
