The Fulton County Emergency Management Director relayed reports of large hail from extreme southern Fulton county near the Coweta and Fayette county lines. Penny-sized hail was reported in the Chattahoochee Hills area in the far southwest part of the county near the Carroll county line and golf ball-sized hail between Palmetto and Union City near the Fayette county line. The public observed penny-sized hail in the College Park area.
The Fulton County Emergency Management Director reported that at least 50 trees were down across mainly the southern half of the county, especially in the Monroe Drive, Interstate-285, and Interstate-20 areas. At least one structure sustained damage in this area from downed trees. The public reported that another home in Palmetto suffered substantial damage when a large tree fell on structure. Three adjacent vehicles were also damaged substantially.
A damage survey team from the National Weather Service in Peachtree City concluded that an F2 tornado had touched down just east of Palmetto in the far southern portion of Fulton county near the Coweta and Fayette county borders. The tornado touched down near Interstate-85 and U.S. Highway 29 east of Palmetto and then traveled east into extreme northwest Fayette county. The tornado was rated an F2 and traveled a path of seven miles, of which approximately four miles occurred within Fulton county. The maximum path width was 1/4 mile wide. Roof damage was observed to a number of homes along the path of the tornado. At least six homes east of Palmetto had sustained major damage with large trees down on the structures. Additionally, a number of trees were down along the path along with several power lines. Specifically, the tornado began around 8225 Tatum Road. Numerous trees were down in this area and several homes had sustained roof damage. The chimney was destroyed on one home. The tornado then continued across the intersection of Johnson and Tatum Road to Gullatt Road. Several homes in this area had sustained roof damage and in fact, one home had completely lost its roof. Numerous trees were either uprooted or snapped off along the path and several power lines were down as well. From this point, the tornado traveled toward the intersection of Bohannon and Kirkley Roads. Damage in this section was less extensive with just minor roof damage and only a few trees uprooted or down in the area. The tornado then crossed into Fayette county.
The public reported two inch diameter hail in Palmetto and penny-sized hail in Fairburn. The Union City police reported quarter-sized hail in Union City. Finally, the public reported penny-sized hail in College Park.
The Fulton County Emergency Management Director reported that from 50 to 100 trees were blown down along Hutcheson Ferry Road between Hearne and Rico Road west of Palmetto in south Fulton county.
The Fulton County 911 Center reported that several trees were down in the Palmetto area. A few shingles were also blown off a roof in North Fulton county in the Alpharetta area, but no other tree or structural damage was noted in that area at this time.
The Fulton County 911 Center reported that five to six trees were blown down in the Palmetto area. The Fulton County Emergency Management Director reported that two more trees were down two to three miles west to northwest of Fairburn and another tree was down two miles west of College Park.
The public reported quarter-sized hail at the intersection of Cedar Grove Road and Georgia Highway 154, with penny-sized hail four miles north of Palmetto along Georgia Highway 154.
