There was a brief tornado in this past Saturday morning. According to the "The tornado started just north of the Fairhope Municipal Pier along Fairhope Park Road, where multiple oak and pine trees were snapped. The tornado moved to the east-northeast, paralleling Oak Ave and snapping large limbs from the tops of several trees. As it crossed N Summit St, a light pole was snapped, and large oak tree was snapped, falling on a home. The tornado appears to have lifted near the intersection of Oak Ave and N Church St. Outside of the narrow and concentrated path associated with the tornado, many large tree limbs were broken and this damage was determined to be from straight-line winds. Additionally, this tornado is believed to have started as a waterspout in Mobile Bay near the Fairhope Pier."
