| April 2011 | Tornado (EF3) | Cassville | 25 hurt, $15,000,000 | A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City and the Cherokee County Emergency Management Director confirmed that a second and stronger EF3 tornado touched down approximately five miles northeast of Kingston, then tracked across extreme northwest Cherokee and into Pickens county, lifting seven miles west of Jasper. This tornado was spawned by the same thunderstorm supercell that had earlier resulted in an EF2 tornado that tracked from Cherokee county, Alabama across northwest Polk, southern Floyd, and into western Bartow county before lifting approximately four miles southwest of Kingston. The total path length of this tornado was 23 miles across the three Georgia counties. Slightly over 15 miles of this path was within Bartow county. The tornado had a maximum path width of 1/2 mile and maximum winds estimated to be 150 mph. Extensive damage was observed across north central and northeast Bartow county to homes. A total of 40 homes were destroyed with 240 others suffering minor damage. Several chicken houses near Interstate-75 were destroyed as well as several outbuildings. Damage was most extensive in the Crowe Springs Road area of Bartow county, approximately five miles northwest of White and north of Cassville. Hundreds of trees and many power lines were also down along the tornado path. Twenty-five injuries were observed in Bartow county, nearly all at the severely damaged or destroyed homes. No fatalities were reported within Bartow county from either tornado.||[04/27-04/28/11: Tornado #6, County #1-3, EF3, Bartow-Cherokee-Pickens, 2011:015]. |
