What the National Weather Service wrote
An EF0 tornado formed half a mile east of the previous tornado that lifted in extreme northeast Meriwether County near Dolly Harris Rd and traveled north northeast about 3.2 miles, downing hundreds of trees before lifting near GA16 and Starlight Dr. No structures were known to be damaged.
The wider storm
A QLCS (squall-line) moved through North and Central Georgia in the overnight hours of the 29th and 30th. There was high uncertainty as to how far into the state severe conditions could reach given the presence of weakening Cold-Air Damming (CAD) as far west as the ATL metro. Several storms produced sustained damaging winds. Storm surveys and radar analysis determined there were 6 tornadoes overnight, including 3 EF-1 and 3 EF-0. The longest tornado damage track was from an EF-1 in Meriwether County that produced damage along a 24-mile path. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted with a number of trees also falling on and damaging homes, vehicles, and other structures.
Began near Haralson (33.2174, -84.5236).
