Survey Summary:
NWS personnel conducted a storm survey from eastern Limestone 
County into western Madison County, evaluating damage associated
with a storm that had rotational radar signatures. The 
thunderstorm damage was very sporadic in nature from just north of
Clift Farm in western Madison County, extending eastward along 
and north of Highway 72, ending just before Research Park 
Boulevard. The damage consisted of an uprooted tree or two, some 
large limbs down, and damage to a couple of fences. Overall, the 
damage was not consistent and constant enough to be confidently 
labeled a convergent damage pattern indicative of a tornado. 
Therefore, it was determined to be straight line winds maxing out 
at 73 mph.
