The National Weather Service says that the storm that hit Chattooga County on Easter evening was indeed a tornado.  The weather service has classified the storm as an EF-2.

Storm Summary: This tornado originated just north of Summerville in
Chattooga county where several trees were snapped or uprooted around
the Hair Lake Road/Mahan Road intersection. The tornado traveled
northeast, continuing to snap or uproot small to medium-sized trees.
A 10K pound camper was overturned by the tornado near Orchard Hill
Road otherwise structural damage was mainly confined to shingles
and/or siding being pulled off homes.  As the tornado continued to
travel toward the town of Pennville over some remote terrain, it
appeared to briefly intensify over Back Penn Road, just west of Hwy
27. A trailer was destroyed and one corner of a barns exterior wall
was heavily damaged. Multiple trees around this property were
uprooted as well. The damage at this point was consistent with an EF-
1 (90-95 MPH winds). Mainly pockets of tree damage and minor
structural (roof) damage was then seen as the tornado moved just
east of Trion, beginning to encounter Taylor Ridge and the Walker
county line.

The tornado crossed the Chattooga/Walker county line nearly
paralleling Halls Valley Road. Trees were down on either side of the
road as the tornado appeared to turn more north, possibly being
affected by the higher terrain/ridge to the east. More significant
tree damage was seen along Ramey Road just before Hwy 151. Evidence
of numerous large trees snapped along with more intense structural
damage along 151 just east of Halls Valleys Road suggested the
tornado intensified to EF-1 quickly. It was also at this time that a
small Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) was seen from KHTX (Hytop AL)
radar. About 1/4 mile up the hill from 151 and Halls Valley Road, a
2-story home was hit hard. The entire second story and roof were
removed with heavy damage to the exterior walls. A jeep was also
tossed more than 150 yards from its original location. An additional
home had a good portion of its roof torn off on one side while the
floor above the garage collapsed on the other side. Windows and
doors were blown out and numerous large pines were snapped about
halfway down. It was in this area between the Hwy 151 and Halls
Valley Road intersection and Beard Drive, the tornado was at its
strongest (EF-2) with max winds between 120-125 MPH. The tornado
then crossed Hwy 151 around Mildreds Way with more snapped/uprooted
trees, then appeared to quickly weaken as it rode the west-side of
Taylors Ridge. Tree damage dropped off and ended near Smith Gap
Road with no other damage seen beyond this point.
