| April 2011 | Tornado (EF2) | County Line | $6,000,000 | A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that the EF2 tornado that first touched down in northeast Harris county continued across southern Meriwether county before moving into Upson county where it finally lifted approximately nine miles northwest of Thomaston. The tornado crossed into Meriwether county about four miles southwest of Warm Springs and moved into Upson county just under five miles southeast of Woodbury. The tornado traveled almost 13 miles through Meriwether county. The maximum path width diminished to 1/2 mile with the maximum winds estimated to still be 130 mph. Thousands of trees were destroyed along the path of the tornado. Several homes, barns, and outbuildings also suffered damage along the path of the tornado. There were no fatalities or injuries with this tornado in Meriwether county.||The two tornadoes within Meriwether county resulted in 35 destroyed homes and/or businesses, 21 structures with major damage, and 15 other structures with minor damage for a total of 71 affected structures.||[04/27-04/28/11: Tornado #10, County #2-3, EF2, Harris-Meriwether-Upson, 2011:019]. |
