National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northeast Elmore County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 110 mph. The tornado touched down in a wooded area just west of Tecumseh Point Road where tree damage was immediately significant along a fairly wide path. The tornado then moved into the southwest portion of Lake Martin and across the Castaway Island area, where numerous pine trees were uprooted, with some falling on power lines and homes. The only visible damage to any structures appeared to have been caused by fallen trees. From there, the tornado moved back over the water and then into The Ridge neighborhood. Three to four homes right along the lakeshore on Sundown Ridge and Dawson Point roads sustained considerable roof and siding damage, and many surrounding trees were uprooted. A couple of roughly 130-foot tall concrete electric transmission poles were downed south of the main path at the end of Dawson Point Road. Immediately east, more trees were downed along South Ridge Road, although surrounding homes appeared to have no visible damage. The tornado then crossed an inaccessible island before moving into Tallapoosa County near Long Beach Drive.
