EF1 Tornado — Ware, Georgia

2024-03-09 · near Manor, Ware, Georgia

Event narrative

The tornado touched down in an inaccessible marshy timberland in

northeastern Clinch County southeast of the Cogdell Community. The tornado then moved into Ware county with additional tree damage noted as it crossed old manor

Millwood Road just east of the county line. The storm weakened as

it continued east-northeast with only light timber damage where it

crossed Windmill Road. The tornado re-intensified as it approached

Manor Millwood Road South (CR-472) and produced the only

structural damage along its path. A metal outbuilding had half of its

tin roof removed, with some of it tossed nearly 300 yards

down-wind. The adjacent home suffered slight roof damage, while

several trees on the property were snapped or uprooted. Continuing

east just south of Highway 122, the tornado began to weaken a

final time. It crossed Farms Edge Road, producing sporadic tree

damage along and near the roadway. Special thanks to one of our Georgia media broadcast partners for information pertaining to this narrative.
