| February 2008 | Tornado (EF0) | Omaha | $20,000 | An aerial survey conducted by the National Weather Service and the Georgia State Patrol determined that a tornado, which moved out of Russell county Alabama, continued into far northwestern Stewart county. While the tornado was rated an EF2 in Russell county Alabama, it weakened to an EF0 tornado as it crossed into far northwest Stewart county just northwest of Omaha. It then paralleled the Chattahoochee River and the Alabama border for over nine miles before finally crossing into Chattahoochee county. The path width was estimated to be 50 yards wide. Damage was minimal and confined mainly to downed trees and a few power lines. One county vehicle was damaged near Omaha when a tree fell on it. Much of the track of the tornado remained within swamp land along the Chattahoochee River. |
