A tornado touched down in mainly hunting and forested lands just north of the Bragg community, where numerous soft and hardwood trees were snapped or uprooted. It then traveled northeast crossing Blue Hill Road, where one residence sustained minor roof damage; along with additional trees being either snapped or uprooted. Further northeast, the tornado crossed Alabama Highway 21 in the Beechwood Community, where the path width reached its maximum point. Multiple trees were uprooted and snapped, along with powerlines blown down and one large barn was completely destroyed. As the tornado tracked parallel to Alabama Highway 21, a home and large barn sustained significant roof and structural damage. Numerous outbuildings were destroyed and several pieces of large farm equipment were tossed approximately 100 yards. The tornado continued to the northeast just south of Hayneville, crossing County Roads 33 and 97, where additional trees were damaged along with one single family residence that sustained minor roof damage. The tornado began to weaken as it crossed Mimms Road and lifted near the intersection of County Road 26 and County Road 37.
