Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

61What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Oct 26, 12:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 26, 12:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 1250 PM CDT TUE OCT 26 2010 .UPDATE...MESOSCALE UPDATE AND AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... THE FIVE NORTHWESTERN-MOST COUNTIES OF THE BIRMINGHAM CWA APPEAR TO HAVE THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL EARLY ON...WITH INCREASING UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ARE CONTINUED SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR ROTATING STORMS. LOOKS LIKE CELLS WERE TRYING TO GET DEVELOPING IN EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...AND IF THESE DO STRENGTHEN THEN THEIR TRAJECTORIES WOULD MOST LIKELY TAKE THEM INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA. LOOKING AT THE VARIOUS CAPE FIELDS ON SPC HOMEPAGE...ONE CAN INFER THAT AS YOU GET FARTHER WEST INTO MS...THE STORMS ARE ROOTED LESS AT THE SURFACE. IF NOTHING ELSE...THE BANDED STRUCTURE OF RADAR ECHOES IS QUITE INTERESTING...AND MIGHT BE INDICATIVE OF GRAVITY WAVES THAT MAY EVENTUALLY PROVIDE AN OTHERWISE MISSING SUBSTANTIAL LIFTING MECHANISM. /61/ && .AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION. THE MORNING STRATUS HAS LIFTED INTO A VFR SUPPORTIVE STRATO-CUMULUS DECK ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND I THINK THE PREDOMINANT CLOUD CONDITION WILL REMAIN LIKE THIS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TIMING OF SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO INDIVIDUAL TAF SITES IS A BIT MORE PROBLEMATIC THAN TYPICAL FOR THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM...DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVED WITH THE SPEED OF THE ONGOING ADVANCING CONVECTION. I AM MORE CERTAIN THAT TCL...BHM...AND EET WILL SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT STORMINESS BEFORE 27/0000Z...BUT LESS CERTAIN ABOUT ANB. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT TOOK 18-24 HOURS BEFORE THE RAIN ACTUALLY GETS TO MGM AND TOI. /61/ NOTICE...KEET TAF WILL HAVE (AMD LTD TO VIS WIND AND WX) AMENDED TO THE END OF THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF 2010. THE CEILOMETER DATA WILL BE GOING THROUGH NUMEROUS TESTS AND MONITORED FOR ACCURACY. && .BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM CDT FOR ENTIRE AREA. &&
