| Episode Narrative | A well-defined upper shortwave pushed through the Deep South in late on the 11th. A strong surface low over the Central Plains early in the day began lifting to the northeast toward the Great Lakes, dragging the associated cold front moved into northwest Georgia late in the day. Numerous showers and thunderstorms developed ahead of the front, with several reports of large hail, including a couple of reports of up to baseball sized hail and several reports of golfball sized hail. Three weak tornadoes occurred as well, two EF-1s and an EF-0. |
| Event Narrative | A National Weather Service storm survey team determined that an EF-0 tornado touched down just south of Interstate 20 near Chandler Road. The tornado continued northeast, crossing Kings Gin Road and along Thomas Road, snapping and uprooting several dozen trees. Three homes on Kings Gin Road sustained minor roof damage where shingles or a portion of the roof was peeled back. The tornado crossed Interstate 20, knocking over several trees on both east and westbound sides, just east of where Old Georgia 100 crosses the interstate. The tornado continued across Dr. King Road and Petty Road, snapping and uprooting trees and just missing a large manufacturing center. The tornado continued northeast and began to weaken as it headed across State Highway 100, Daniel Road, and U.S. Highway 78. Several trees were uprooted and snapped along that path and a flower shop sustained minor roof damage at the intersection of U.S. Highway 78 and Old Ridgeway Road. The tornado lifted shortly after crossing Highway 78. [04/11/13: Tornado #1, County #1-1, EF0, Haralson, 2013:005]. |
