15:54SAYREJEFFERSONA storm survey was conducted in the Bagley area following numerous pictures and videos of a funnel-like cloud. One video showed what appeared to be a very brief gustnado in a field behind Daniel Trail, occurring along the leading edge of southward-moving thunderstorms under a visible shelf cloud. No damage was observed in this area during the survey. However, elsewhere along the survey, a couple trees and limbs were observed to have been blown down at Bankhead Highway and Barnes Dr, and a few more trees were downed along CR 22 and Wingo Rd in Empire (Walker County).
