No one was injured.

Damage was reported at the Green Meadow Apartments on Cary Hamilton Road and also at Burroughs Elementary School, the weather service said.

School buses at Daphne Middle School were also damaged by airborne debris a few minutes later, the NWS said. The Theodore damage was reported about 11:30 p.m., and the damage at Daphne occurred about 15 minutes later.

The NWS said a circulating non-tornadic windstorm that originated in the Mobile River Delta caused the Daphne damage, with winds peaking at about 50 mph. The Theodore event was most likely a strong straight-line gust topping out at about 45 mph, the weather service said.
