EF1 tornado in Twiggs County, Georgia

As the line of thunderstorms continued into east-central Georgia, a tornado developed in central Twiggs county, several miles to the southwest of the city of Jeffersonville at 7:25 AM EDT. A tornado debris signature was observed from the KJGX radar at this

time. The first discernible damage was observed along I-16 Westbound, where a tree was snapped and another was uprooted to the immediate north of the interstate. The tornado continued east, snapping several pine trees at the end of Green Rd. Continuing to the south of Green Rd, it then crossed Hwy 96 where another pine tree was snapped. Between 7:27 and 7:28 AM EDT it uprooted a few trees near the intersection of Missile Base Rd and Prospect Church Rd. The most significant damage was observed in a

field on the north side of Prospect Church Rd and across from Missile Base Rd and Hamlin Floyd Rd. Here, as many as 30-40 large trees were uprooted, with several hardwood trees also snapped in the midst of these uprooted trees. As the tornado continued eastward, it snapped a couple more pine trees on the north side of Prospect Church Rd. The last damage observed was to the west of Tommie Thompson, with the tornado appearing to have lifted by 7:29 AM.

A strong cold front and associated QLCS system moved through central Georgia in the early morning hours of the 12th. Storms within the line were able to produce a few spots of wind damage, however the main hazard ended up being the numerous short lived and brief spin-up tornados which occurred in central Georgia. The strongest tornado was an EF2 near Marshallville.
