Storms near this place

3 since 2012

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Ansley in 3 storm reports between 2012 and 2023: 1 hail, 1 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
February 2012	Hail	Ansley	$30,000	A trained spotter reported that golf ball sized hail fell just north of Jewell.
June 2018	Thunderstorm Wind	Ansley	$4,000	The Warren County 911 center reported multiple trees blown down southwest of Warrenton, along Long Creek Road.
January 2023	Tornado (EF1)	Ansley	-	The tornado started near the intersection of Mayfield Rd and Riverview Farms Rd. It tracked ENE uprooting trees and picked up strength as it approached Atlanta Highway where a grove of large pines were snapped or uprooted with EF-1 intensity. The tornado crossed Old Camek Rd near the intersection of Lithonia Church Rd snapping and uprooting a number of large pine trees and causing minor structural damage as it approached the intersection of Washington HWY and Calvin Dr. The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) Aviation Division used a helicopter to pick up the trail near Camak, just east of Church Street, and moved toward the northeast. EF-0 damage to trees was seen from the helicopter extending from Camak Rd to the intersection of Wire Road and Otis Jones Road. A second NWS survey team determined the tornado strengthened again to EF-1 intensity as it approached Mesena Road and continued northeast across the county line to Foster Sprouse Road. In this area, a couple of homes had roof and facia damage, a metal work shed and outdoor kitchen were destroyed, and a swath of large and healthy pine trees were snapped and uprooted. As the tornado crossed Foster Sprouse Road, it continued to snap and uproot trees, one of which fell on a house. The tornado then weakened as it crossed Union Church Road and dissipated before reaching West Bypass.
