The path drawn at its surveyed width of 250 yards (0.14 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 tornado touched down across far northern Chattooga County,

between the small communities of Trion and Subligna just before

7PM EDT Sunday May 25th. Damage, mainly to trees being snapped

or uprooted started around Mountain View Road and Spring Creek

Road. Further tree damage was seen along Narrows Road heading up

Taylor Ridge. Very few if any access roads exist along the ridge

in this area, but additional damage that lines up with the

circulation on radar (from KHTX) occurred along Gore Subligna

Road where a carport solidly placed into the ground was ripped

out of the ground and a large tree snapped on a car nearby.

The wider storm

An MCS moved into northwest Georgia during the early evening hours of the 25th. The system produced scattered damaging winds and several brief tornados. The system weakened as it moved towards the ATL metro, however a few imbedded cells remained strong and produced further damaging winds as far south as Douglas county.

Began near East Trion (34.5568, -85.2654).
