Large trees along the northern and eastern edges of the neighborhood were snapped or uprooted. The tornado continued east for a short distance, ending after crossing Highway 92 just north of Jones Road, but not before it removed part of a roof on a house off of the highway and shingles from the roofs of several houses along Winstar Lane. No injuries were reported. [03/19/18: Tornado #3, County #1/1, EF-2, Fulton, 2018:007]. |
