December 2017	Tornado (EF0)	Imlac	$30,000	A National Weather Service survey team found that an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds speeds of 80-85 MPH and a maximum path width of 125 yards, occurred north of Woodbury in east central Meriwether County. The tornado touched down just west of the intersection of Imlac Road and Walnut Creek Road where a few trees were damaged. The tornado moved east hitting a fruit stand along Imlac Road removing the tin roof and scattering debris in the trees nearby. A shed was damaged on the south side of Imlac Road and several large trees were uprooted in the tree line near the shed. The tornado continued east crossing Carroll Chunn Road where several trees were snapped and uprooted and a home sustained shingle damage. The tornado continued tracking east crossing Highway 85 just south of Covered Bridge Road where a barn collapsed on the west side of the highway and a garage sustained roof damage on the east side. Several trees were either snapped or uprooted here as well. The tornado then paralleled Stribling Road to the east, snapping a few trees in the fields behind homes on the south side of the road before lifting just west of the Flint River. [12/20/17: Tornado #1, County #1/1, EF-0, Meriwether, 2017:083].
