Preliminary investigation indicates a maximum EF1 tornado occurred
in Geneva County Alabama...
The National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Florida has evaluated
eyewitness reports, pictures, videos and weather radar data
regarding the damage that occurred in central Geneva County on June
10, 2012. It has been determined that a tornado caused the damage.
Here are some preliminary statistics on this event:
* Event Date: June 10, 2012

It is believed that the damage path from this tornado was nearly
continuous from where the tornado first touched down near Niva
Drive-In Road and Highway 27, to where it dissipated just north of
the Geneva County border east of Chancellor.
The bulk of the damage caused by this tornado was in the EF0 range.
However, the most significant damage seems to have occurred in the
vicinity of County road 99 and Buck Vaughn Road. Damage in and near
this location is consistent with EF1.
