NW Huntsville A small tornado described by eye witnesses as a smooth funnel touched down in northwest Huntsville. The damage began near the intersection of Capshaw Road and Wall Triana Highway. The tornado damage path extended nearly due east for some distance before turning east-northeast and ending just west of Rideout Road. A damage survey was conducted of this event by meteorologists from UAH who described the damage path as narrow, focused, and convergent. Additional damage occurred in northeast Huntsville in the Chase area and may possibly have been another weak tornado touchdown. Start: 34.7800/-86.7700 End:  34.8000/-86.6800
