The county from the air

28 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 828 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 28 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

Radar estimates indicate that 3 to 4 inches of rain occurred during the day on March 27, on top of 1.5 to 2 inches that fell the day prior. The combination of high rainfall rates, runoff rates, wet antecedent conditions, and ongoing flooding on the mainstem rivers caused the floodwaters to rise to a point of inundating the home.

The tornado traveled east crossing Hadaway Road, Hillsboro Lake Road, Hadaway Road a second time and then Hadaway Road once again south of Dumas Road before ending. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted along the path. Minor structural damage occurred to one home on Hillsboro Lake Road when a tree was uprooted next to the home. No injuries were reported. [04/03/17: Tornado #17, County #1/1, EF-0, Jones, 2017:049].
February 2008Tornado (EF0)Clinton$50,000A storm survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia in cooperation with the Georgia State Patrol confirmed that the same supercell thunderstorm that spawned tornadoes across southern Alabama and into Stewart, Chattahoochee, Marion, Taylor, and Crawford counties, spawned yet another EF0 tornado in extreme western Jones county near the Bibb county line, just east of Arkwright. The tornado path length was determined to be approximately three miles long with a maximum damage path width of 100 yards. Maximum winds were estimated at 90 mph. A home in the River North Subdivision near the Bibb county line suffered substantial roof and window damage. Numerous trees were blown down along the path of the tornado.
November 2002Thunderstorm WindGray$50,000The Jones county Emergency Management Director reported that strong thunderstorm winds caused considerable damage to a trucking industry located in Pinesville, about halfway between Gray and Haddock on Georgia Highway 22. The winds removed a portion of the roof and ripped off the front doors of the main building at the industry. A shed attached to the main building was also blown away. Several trees fell down on the property as well, causing damage. A tree fell on a service truck, causing considerable damage to the vehicle, while another tree fell on a pontoon. Other trees and power lines were down in the county, especially near the Bibb county line.
May 2008HailGriswoldville$30,000The public observed golf ball-sized hail in the far southern part of Jones county near the Bibb and Twiggs county lines.

October 2021Flash FloodEthridge$15,000The Emergency Manager reported the Union Hill Church Road bridge was washed out, likely due to high water on Cedar Creek. Radar estimates indicate that 3 to 4.5 inches of rain occurred over the area, resulting in the flash flooding.
August 2018Tornado (EF0)Crutchfield$15,000Information from the Jones County Emergency Manager and local media show that a brief, EF0, tornado with maximum wind speeds of 80 MPH and a maximum path width of 100 yards occurred in the northwest portion of the county on the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge. The tornado began about a quarter mile south of Round Oak-Juliette Road, traveled northeast parallel to and just south of the road before crossing the road just west of the intersection with Will Russell Road, downing several trees along the path. The tornado continued northeast downing a few more trees and causing minor damage to the metal roof of a home before lifting. [08/02/18: Tornado #2, County #1/1, EF-0, Jones, 2018:011].
July 2012Thunderstorm WindVan Buren$15,000Broadcast Media relayed a report of a gas station awning downed by strong winds. The awning only had two columns and was blown over, with most damage occurring because of the canopy hitting the ground.
December 2009Tornado (EF0)East Juliette$15,000A storm survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that an EF0 tornado touched down in the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, approximately 2.5 miles east-southeast of East Juliette or 3.0 miles east of Juliette in northwest Jones county and then traveled northeast a little less than two miles to a point near 3.5 miles east of East Juliette. Maximum wind gusts were estimated to be 80 mph with the tornado path width estimated to be 100 yards. The tornado traveled through a largely unpopulated, forested area.
