Survey Summary:
The same parent supercell that produced a tornado in Grady/Thomas
County continued to track northeast and produced another tornado
touchdown in SW Colquitt County. This tornado touched down in a
wooded area just east of Monroe Jackson Road but west of GA-202.
Numerous large pines were snapped or uprooted in this area.
Snapped or uprooted pines fell on an outbuilding and a home in
the area. The occupant in the home was not injured. The tornado
continued through a wooded area before reaching another
residence, causing loss of roof shingles to a portion of the roof
frame. A storage shed to the rear of the property was also
affected by tornadic winds and a falling pine tree. The tornado
crossed GA-202 and began to weaken while still causing occasional
damage to pine trees and ultimately toppling an irrigation pivot
system on the east side of GA-202 before lifting with the final
parent supercell dissipating over SW Colquitt County.

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee would like to thank
the Colquitt County Emergency Management Agency for their
assistance in completing the damage survey.
