The NWS in Huntsville confirmed that an EF1 tornado touched down in Rogersville during the severe storms Saturday night and early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Survey Summary:
\n
\nThis damage survey began on Wheeler St. (AL Hwy 207) in
\nRogersville, which coincided with the southwestern-most damage
\npoint. In the general vicinity, several businesses experienced
\nminor damage to awnings, the tin top of a business  roof was
\nremoved (and blown north) but the main portion of the roof
\nremained, and a business on Church Street had windows blown out.
\nFrom here, going northeastward to College St. we observed
\nsignificant tree damage. We noticed that one large pine tree fell
\ntoward the east, while an adjacent (but severely hallowed-out)
\noak tree fell toward the northeast. Thus, we suspect this may
\nhave been where a small tornado initiated. A resident at this
\nlocation did receive warning from NWS Huntsville and made the
\ndecision to seek shelter. 
\n
\nTraveling northeastward from here was Macke Rd., where there was 
\ncontinued evidence of a small tornado. At this location, we 
\nnoticed one uprooted hardwood and one uprooted softwood tree lying
\nin a convergent pattern, and also were informed that power lines 
\nand poles had been blown down, but were recently repaired. A 
\nresident at this location did receive warning from NWS Huntsville 
\nand was very thankful for the advance notice. The maximum width of
\nthe tornado is assumed to have been at this point. 
\n
\nGreer Dr. represents the northeastern-most damage point and end 
\npoint of the tornado. At this location, a large hardwood tree was 
\nuprooted and fell on a residence, causing damage to the roof in a 
\nfew locations. On the way to Greer Dr., there were several snapped
\nsoftwood trees and uprooted hardwood trees (aligned in the same 
\ndirection) along Hudson St. and between Warren St. and Weaver Dr. 
\nThis tree damage was likely associated with RFD flow immediately 
\nsouth of the tornado.<\/pre>\n
