A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that yet another tornado struck in Emanuel county, this time on the far eastern end of the county. This tornado was an EF2 tornado and touched down about two miles southeast of Twin City and traveled northeast to a point about five miles northeast of Twin City. The total tornado path length was five miles with a maximum path width of 200 yards. The maximum wind speed in this tornado was estimated to be 115 mph. Two homes along the path of the tornado sustained major damage when they both lost a significant portion of their roofs and outer walls. A mobile home was also damaged and some nearby outbuildings were destroyed. A large portion of the tornado was through a rural area.
The Emanuel county Emergency Management Director reported that strong straight line easterly winds from a westward moving thunderstorm complex destroyed two mobile homes, severely damaged two more, caused minor damage to 13 homes, and downed numerous trees and power lines. The entire city was reported to have been without power through the entire evening.
The Emanuel County 911 Center reported that lightning struck a tree in Twin City which subsequently fell onto an adjacent power line knocking out power to the city. One tree was also down in Canoochee from strong wind gusts.
The Johnson County Emergency Management Director, while attending an event in Emanuel county, reported that a fence at the race track in Twin City was blown over and a sign was damaged as well.
The Emanuel County 911 Center reported that a couple of trees were down on a local road. One tree also brought down a power line. This caused a power outage to much of the city of Twin City. The damage was the result of a gust front out ahead of an area of thunderstorms in the north and west part of the county.
