COWETA COUNTY, Ga. — An EF-0 tornado touched down Tuesday in Coweta County, the National Weather Service confirmed.
They said it had maximum winds of 80 miles per hour when it hit near Sullivan Road and Fairway Court. Downed trees were reported in the area around 7 p.m. Crews have been working all day Wednesday to remove them.
This is not far from the area where a large tornado devastated the community in 2021. Newnan High School had a virtual day Wednesday.
The storm survey report mentions the tornado initially touched down in the White Oak community near Nicklaus Walk and Tillinghast Trace; several small trees were snapped. The storm then moved northeast and larger pines were snapped near a golf course fairway between the White Oak and Woodstream community, the report said.
Along Fairway Court, a few houses had minor roof and siding damage. The tornado then traveled down Sullivan Road where trees were uprooted and snapped between Pheasant Ridge and Wildflower Circle.
