Event narrative

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.
