16:31	FORKVILLE	WINSTON	The National Weather Service surveyed damage northeast of Haleyville from the Forkville area to the Ashridge community and determined it to be the result of straight-line winds. The most concentrated damage was observed at the intersection of Highway 195 and Little Crooked Rd around 5:35 pm CDT, where several structures were damaged. A furniture business sustained roof damage and had a glass door blown out, an open air hay shed was flipped onto an adjacent outbuilding, and a larger garage sustained roof and siding damage. In addition, a smaller three-car shed collapsed and fell into the larger garage. Just east of this, at least five trees were uprooted across Little Crooked Rd, with roofing tin from the garage blown into the fallen trees. This damage was all within 130 yards, with winds estimated up to 75 mph. No other notable damage was observed except for a few trees down along Jim Brown Rd approximately four miles to the southeast.

The most extensive area of non-tornadic damage was observed to be along Mud Creek Rd south of Groundhog Rd, where several trees were uprooted, minor roof damage occurred to two homes and a small outbuilding, and power poles were broken with lines in the road, causing a portion of the roadway to be closed much of the day following the storm.
