EF1 tornado in Mitchell County, Georgia

This tornado touched down near Welch St. NW on the west side of Pelham, GA. Damage was mainly confined to snapped or uprooted trees. However, the tornado did remove a large percentage of metal roofing at an auto service building on Curry Street. It also flipped a van at this location. Several trees were uprooted or snapped on Green St. before the tornado damaged a metal awning at a warehouse on U.S. 19 just south of Green St. East. The tornado continued southeast from there, causing some damage to an outbuilding and the roof of a home on Harmony Road before lifting. The damage was consistent with an EF-1 rating with max winds of 95 mph. Many other locations within Pelham were damaged by straight-line winds estimated to be around 80 mph.
