Resaca, the town this property stands in, in 17 storm reports between 1998 and 2020: 9 hail, 7 thunderstorm wind, 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.
An amateur radio operator relayed a report of baseball-sized hail between Resaca and Nickelsville. As the storm first intensified to the west near Resaca, it initially produced penny-sized hail.
The Gordon County Emergency Management Director reported the roof was blown off a commercial building in Calhoun. Two other structures suffered major damage while 20 others sustained minor damage. Several trees and power lines were also down in the area, especially near Resaca.
The Gordon County 911 Center reported that a number of trees and several power lines were down from Nickelsville to just southeast of Calhoun. The worst damage appeared to be around Nickelsville near the Murray county line where over a dozen trees were down and several power lines. Further south, at least two power poles were down near the intersection of Interstate-75 and Georgia Highway 53 just east of Calhoun. The public reported that awnings of a home were damaged from high winds in Calhoun.
A National Weather Service survey team found that an EF0 tornado with maximum wind speeds of 75 MPH and a maximum path width of 70 yards touched down east of Resaca between Swan Drive Northeast and Fite Bend Road Northeast where several large trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado moved northeast across a wheat field and into a small wooded area where it snapped a few large tree branches before lifting as it approached the Conasauga River. No injuries were reported. [05/24/17: Tornado #2, County #1/1, EF-0, Gordon, 2017:076].
The Gordon County 911 Center reported that more than a dozen trees were blown down across the far northern portion of the county, generally west through north of Resaca. Some fences were also damaged.
The public reported a few trees blown down from west of Resaca along Hall Road to east of Damascus along Langston Drive. A shed was damaged by a falling tree along Hall Road.
The public reported observing golf ball-sized hail near Resaca. However, radar data was not supportive of hail this large. The same storm only produced quarter-sized hail in Chattooga county and had already weakened by the time it reached Gordon county.
The public observed quarter-sized hail in the northwest part of the county west of Resaca and in Resaca, half-dollar-sized hail just north of Calhoun, and penny-sized hail in and just east of Calhoun. This was the first of two severe thunderstorms to track across Gordon county during the evening of April 23rd.
Several reports of hail were received from the public and an amateur radio operator of hail across northern Gordon county from Resaca to Calhoun. An amateur radio operator reported nickel-sized hail in Calhoun, while penny-sized hail was reported from the public in Resaca, Calhoun, and east of Calhoun along Interstate-75.
