F0 tornado in Fannin County, Georgia

A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service and the Fannin County Emergency Management Director confirmed that a high-end F0 tornado had touched down at the intersection of U.S. Highway 76 and Loving Road and traveled almost due north for approximately 1/4 mile paralleling Loving Road. The damage path was determined to be 1/4 mile long and 100 yards wide. The damage began at the Appalachia Baptist Church on U.S. Highway 76. Part of the roof was blown off the church and the church's sign on the highway was destroyed. It was also noted that a trash dumpster was moved several dozen feet in the parking lot and an air conditioning compressor was moved from its concrete base. The tornado continued north into a subdivision along Loving Road. Dozens of large trees were uprooted or blown down at over at least a dozen homes. At least two homes sustained moderate damage when large trees fell on the structures. Several homes sustained minor roof damage when shingles were blown off. A large swath of trees were blown down in a wooded area between the church and the homes on Loving Road.
