Alabama's first tornadoes of 2006 were reported on Friday January 13, 2006. Sadly, Alabama's first tornado-related fatality occurred as well near Evergreen in Conecuh County. According to the Associated Press, "Winds toppled a chimney, killing Betty Williams, 58, who had just returned from an errand to the store, her daughter, Cynthia Williams, said. She had entered the house, put her purse on the table and returned to unload the car. "The wind pushed the chimney down and crushed her. It didn't last but a minute," the daughter said."

The National Weather Service Office in Mobile conducted a storm survey and rated the tornado F1 and said that it was on the ground for one mile. Tornadoes were also reported west of Batesville in Barbour County in Tumbleton in Henry County.
