15:32	AYRES	JEFFERSON	The National Weather Service surveyed damage in Pinson and determined that it was the result of a microburst. Most damage was found along a one-mile swath north to south from Highway 75 near Rudd School Rd to near Silver Lake Rd and Pine St. In this area, approximately 1,000 yards wide east to west, numerous trees were uprooted, falling on homes and power lines. Up to 15 homes were estimated to have been damaged, mainly by falling trees, with five homes sustaining moderate damage along Cobblestone Ct. Other streets with trees on homes included Church St, Silver Lake Rd, and Echo Dr. Also of note were numerous trees downed in a large cemetery, along with heavy timber damage in a swampy area between Highway 75 and Bud Holmes Rd. Most of the treefall was observed to have been south or southwest, although depending on the exact location relative to the microburst, some trees and debris were blown in various directions. This damage was the result of a rapidly descending thunderstorm core, associated with an ensuing hail storm in Pinson. Winds were estimated at 70-75 mph. The NWS would like to thank Jefferson County EMA for their assistance during this survey.
15:36	CHALKVILLE	JEFFERSON	In addition to the damage caused by the microburst in Pinson and tornado in Trussville, several reports of tree and property damage (fences, lawn furniture, etc.) were received from neighborhoods around Center Point, Chalkville, Clay, and Trussville.
