There were 3 preliminary tornadoes reported. One happened in Decatur County, Georgia, where the winds caused roof damage to a convenience store, and two other ones in Alabama. These last two were captured on the radar after debris signature was seen by meteorologists. There were limbs down on I-65 near mile marker 244 in Chilton County, Alabama. More damage was observed in Shelby County Alabama, as many trees were down along highway 145.
