The tornado also resulted in one death and 30 non-life threatening injuries. The death occurred on Decatur Street across from the Martin Luther King MARTA station.||The tornado first touched down near the intersection of Simpson and Burbank Streets in the Vine City neighborhood just west of downtown Atlanta. The tornado then tracked near due east over the center of the Georgia World Congress Center, about 100 yards north of the Georgia Dome, which was concurrently hosting an SEC basketball conference, across the CNN Omni Hotel Complex and the Phillips Arena, where an NBA basketball game was underway, across the Equitable Bank tower, across the Interstate 75/85 Downtown Connector at the Edgewood Exit, and then into the Cotton Mill Lofts across the Oakland Cemetery located near the Fulton/DeKalb county line. The tornado then weakened, but continued into extreme western DeKalb county before finally lifting for good.||The tornado had a total path length of six miles, five of which fell within Fulton county, and a maximum path width of 200 yards. Maximum wind speeds were estimated at 130 mph, which is a high end EF2. The tornado had a path width of 100 yards as it moved across the Georgia World Congress Center and CNN Omni Hotel complex and was ranked an EF1 at that point.||At least 50 homes were damaged by the tornado, as were several multi-story towers and commercial buildings near and east of Centennial Olympic Park. Windows were blown out of several of these high rise tower buildings at multiple heights.

Rainfall in excess of 3 inches occurred in one hour or less throughout this area. The flooding was largely caused by clogged up drainage systems, trash, and other debris which collected along a fence which fell down as water pooled against it. Several homes were flooded as the result of this collapsed fence which acted much like a collapsed dam and a wall-of-water rushing downstream. Approximately 500 homes were flooded and damaged, with home damage apportioned as $956,000 in Atlanta, $134,435 in College Park, and $130,000 in East Point. Thirty-seven of these homes were declared uninhabitable by the county inspector as water rose to more than 18 inches deep in the homes and above electrical outlets, rendering them unsafe to inhabit. Water rose up to eight feet deep in one home and 4-foot deep water was common. Up to 20 residents had to be rescued by boat. More than 75% of these homes sustained major damage, deemed as in excess of $3500 damage, with the remaining 25% sustaining minor damage, deemed as in excess of $2300 but less than $3500 in damage.
