The path drawn at its surveyed width of 125 yards (0.07 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 line of storms moved into Western GA during the afternoon of May

27 2025. An EF0 tornado with maximum winds of 75 mph developed

along the leading edge of the line along Saxon Road where a tree

was uprooted and numerous branches and debris was strewn across a

field. The tornado continued east crossing Fountain Road and Hwy

100 where several trees were uprooted. The tornado continued ESE

in a largely wooded region before crossing Reeseville Road where 2

trees were downed. The tornado weakened and lifted shortly after

crossing Reeseville road.

The wider storm

A cold front moved across central Georgia, interacting with the southern edge of the CAD wedge in the afternoon hours of the 27th. Storms near the intersection of the front and the wedge latched on to the resultant shear and generated several tornados in Carrol and Coweta counties.
