EF0 tornado in Bibb County, Georgia

A weak velocity couplet was detected on radar just east of Forsyth Rd /Vineville Ave, north of Payne around 7:58 AM. The storm tracked to the east-northeast and caused damage neighborhoods along Pierce Avenue and in the vicinity of Northwoods Academy between 8:00 AM and 8:03 AM. Uprooted trees and minor damage to siding, carports

and gutters suggested a high-end EF-0 tornado with peak wind speeds of 85 mph. Notable damage included several trees on homes and damage to vehicles and an overturned U-Haul truck. Leaf debris and limbs were noted along the tornado track, but at some points damage was limited to snapped tree tops, suggesting the tornado may have briefly lifted several times along the path. The weak velocity couplet was no

longer detected on radar once the storm reached the Ocmulgee River just east of I-75 at 8:05 AM, although a tornado debris signature (TDS) remained apparent due to lofted debris.

Yet another QLCS moved through portions of north and central Georgia in the early morning hours of the 16th. Pockets of concentrated winds damage were found mostly in north Georgia where the storms held together best. A few more brief tornados were found via surveys, including one just southeast of the metro and two further south to Macon and Pine Mountain.
