| March 2011 | Tornado (EF0) | Flintside | $30,000 | A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service and the Sumter and Crisp County Emergency Management Offices confirmed that a brief EF0 tornado touched down on the Sumter county side of Lake Blackshear, approximately two miles south-southwest of Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park and lifted on the Crisp county side of Lake Blackshear. The tornado traveled a total length of 3/4 mile from Sumter into Crisp county, with approximately 0.4 mile of this tornado path length within Sumter county. The maximum path width was estimated to be 200 yards with maximum wind gusts estimated to be 80 mph. Within Sumter county, two homes on the west shore of Lake Blackshear were damaged from downed trees. A few docks on the west side also suffered minor damage. No damage was observed on the Crisp county side of the lake as the tornado lifted before reaching the east shore of the lake.
