The path drawn at its surveyed width of 100 yards (0.06 mi) — zoom in and the swath grows to true scale. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF0 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 is light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 65–85 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A brief QLCS EF0 tornado quickly evolved within the line of

storms which moved through Central GA on the afternoon of Tuesday

April 5, 2022. The tornado touched down southeast of Adrian along

Hidden Acres Ln where several trees were snapped and uprooted. The

tornado continued NE crossing Crooked Run Rd before lifting. [4/5/22: Tornado #13, County #1/1, EF-0, Treutlen, 2022:016].

The wider storm

A multi-day severe weather outbreak initiated with a warm moist air mass situated over Georgia as a strengthening upper level system pushed across central Georgia. With moderate instability in place with increased shear, combined to create numerous severe thunderstorms, taking the form of a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) with several strong supercells ahead of the front. The resulting front stalled across central Georgia and interacted with a weaker shortwave moving up from the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a catalyst for another day of severe weather and flash flooding on April 6th.

Began near Blackville (32.4624, -82.5512).
