When I first arrived in Cullman it seemed more as a downburst had happened since all the damage was in a small confined area, but after walking the town and surveying the damage I am to the conclusion that it was a small EF0-EF1 tornado touched down and then lifted almost immediately. The storm pushed in from the west along a squall line and the individual cell moved NE along the line damage could be found on all sides of buildings (N,S,E,AND W) The NWS survey team will be there later today and we will know for sure. Stay weather aware as tomorrow could be rough again as tis system will move in during the heating parts of the day. We are under a slight risk right now for all day Tuesday.
