NWS Damage Survey (Summary) for the 08/17/2021 Tornadoes due to the Remnants of TS Fred... .Update #6 - added the Baldwin and Jones county tornado event summary. Tornadoes are listed below based on when damage surveys were completed (most recent, first). .Overview... As the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred moved northeastward into central and north Georgia, multiple tornadoes occurred from storms along several rain bands in the early to mid morning hours of Tuesday, August 17, 2021. The tornadoes occurred generally east of the center of circulation, across portions of central Georgia and eastern north Georgia. Most damage that occurred were snapped or downed trees and some structural. .Baldwin/Jones County Tornado... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 75 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.8581 miles Path Width /maximum/: 150.0 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 08/17/2021 Start Time: 06:27 AM EDT Start Location: 4 ENE Greenberry Crossroads / Jones County / GA Start Lat/Lon: 32.9617 / -83.375 End Date: 08/17/2021 End Time: 06:31 AM EDT End Location: 4 SW Coopers / Baldwin County / GA End Lat/Lon: 32.9429 / -83.3521 Survey Summary: A brief tornado spun up in a rural area of southwest Baldwin county and tracked across the Jones county line before lifting. A Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) was seen from the KJGX 88-D radar at approximately 10:31 UTC (8/17). Multiple trees were snapped along Union Hill Church Road near Kitchens Road with additional reports of trees down along County Line Road near Piney Woods Drive. The TDS likely resulted from the tornado affecting a heavily wooded area between Union Hill Church Road and County Line Road, along the Baldwin/Jones county line. Estimated maximum winds were around 75 MPH in this area. .Meriwether County Tornado... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.36 miles Path Width /maximum/: 150 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 08/17/2021 Start Time: 04:34 AM EDT Start Location: 3 WSW Rocky Mount / Meriwether County / GA Start Lat/Lon: 33.1523 / -84.7178 End Date: 08/17/2021 End Time: 04:39 AM EDT End Location: 2 E Lone Oak / Meriwether County / GA End Lat/Lon: 33.1688 / -84.7724 Survey Summary: Based on the combination of a radar confirmed debris signature and ground-truth damage, a brief tornado touched down near Coleman Creek Circle just east of Hwy 27/41 (Roosevelt Hwy) in northwest Meriwether County. After snapping several larger trees along Coleman Creek Circle, the tornado tracked west-northwest with additional damage (downed trees) reported between Sawmill Road and Charlie Fuller Road. No additional damage was seen downstream from this location and radar supports these findings that the tornado likely lifted somewhere northwest of the Primrose Rd/Charlie Fuller Rd intersection.

Survey Summary:
A brief, weak tornado touched down along Warwoman road in eastern 
Rabun County. Several trees were uprooted on the northern side of 
the road, with damage continuing into the woods north of the 
road. It was impossible to determine how far into the woods the 
damage extended due to the rough terrain and inability to access 
private property, so the path length is likely incomplete.
