Storms near this place

5 since 2008

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Everett in 5 storm reports between 2008 and 2024: 3 thunderstorm wind, 1 flash flood, 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
August 2008	Flash Flood	Everett	$1,500,000	Many roads and low lying areas were flooded, including Thomasville and surrounding areas. U.S. Highway 84 was closed to flood waters near the Grady County line. Four vehicles passed Georgia State Patrol barricades and were swept away into Barnett's Creek. All six occupants were rescued. A dozen homes in the Plantation Woods subdivision near Thomasville were flooded. Rainfall amounts ranged from eight inches in northeast Thomas County, to as much as two feet across southern Thomas County, including Thomasville.
February 2024	Tornado (EF1)	Everett	$100,000	An EF1 tornado with peak winds estimated at 100 mph briefly touched down in southeastern Thomas County near the intersection of Scott Rd and Scott Plantation Road immediately adjacent to Seminole Plantation. The tornado crossed Scott Road and moved into Seminole Plantation where there were numerous large pine trees uprooted or snapped near the entrance to the plantation. Within the plantation, one structure was damaged from an uprooted tree landing on a portion of the building. Several other cottages suffered some shingle loss, with one structure losing the bottom portion of the wood frame around the building and another having minor chimney damage. A couple of open air barns had damage, with one having a wall collapse and another being slightly shifted off its foundation. Beyond the structures, numerous large pine trees were uprooted or snapped. When the tornado was near peak intensity several large pine trees were snapped in close proximity with several very large pine trees uprooted. Tree damage was noted beyond reachable distance due to the downed trees blocking the path further into the woods. From surveying on the northwest side of the track along an accessible road, no additional damage was noted, and the tornado is presumed to have lifted before reaching B Green Road and Parramore Fish Pond Road. The National Weather Service in Tallahassee would like to thank the Thomas County Emergency Management Agency for their support in this survey.
July 2012	Thunderstorm Wind	Everett	$1,000	A tree was blown down along Madre Pond Road. Monetary damage was estimated.
July 2012	Thunderstorm Wind	Everett	$750	A tree was blown down across Mitchell Road. Monetary damage was estimated.
May 2024	Thunderstorm Wind	Everett	-	Trees were blown down on 12 Mile Post Road.
