It is estimated that the tornado had a 98 minute life span, with a path length near 80 miles. It is impossible to know the exact number, but tens of thousands of trees were snapped or uprooted.

Along the tornados path, hundreds of residences were damaged or destroyed, either directly by wind or due to fallen trees.||The tornado began along Highway 17 just south of the town of Sawyerville. The tornado rapidly gained strength and widened as it neared and crossed Highway 14. Across Hale County, a large swath of hardwood and softwood trees were uprooted. Some debarking of trees was observed just south of Highway 14, probably from high velocity debris throwing. Five large transmission towers were downed on the north side of Highway 14. These towers are rated for 120+ mph winds according to representatives from Alabama Power. It is unknown whether this was due to a domino effect or direct blowdown of each tower. Either way, a powerful tornado occurred. Residential damage included wall collapse, roofing torn off, shifting off of foundation, or total structural loss. There were six minor injuries in Hale County.
