A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City confirmed that the EF0 to EF1 tornado that first touched down near Fitzpatrick in central Twiggs county continued eastward across eastern Twiggs county and into Wilkinson county. The tornado entered Wilkinson county about 4 1/3 miles southeast of Myricks Mill and continued on an almost due eastward track to the far southeastern part of the county, lifting about eight miles southeast of Toombsboro. The tornado entered the county with an EF0 strength rating. As the tornado continued eastward it began to parallel Georgia Highway 96 where it crosses U.S. Highway 441, about five miles south of Irwinton. A mobile home was damaged on Beaver Dam Road near this point as the the tornado briefly strengthed to an EF1. Little to no other structural damage was observed, but numerous trees and power lines were down along the path of the tornado. Maximum winds within the tornado were estimated at 90 mph with a maximum path width of 100 yards.
