Event Narrative A National Weather Service Damage Survey Team confirmed that an F1 tornado touched down approximately two miles east of Cedartown and traveled on a northwesterly track terminating at a point about two miles north of Cedartown. The damage path was 2.8 miles long and 50 yards wide. The most significant damage was to a Chevron gas station, which sustained a damaged portico, and several brick storage units, which were flattened. In addition, a large billboard on U.S. Highway 27 was bent to the ground by the tornadic winds. A number of trees and power lines were also blown down in a small area along the path of the tornado. Minor damage was also reported to a Wal Mart store on the east side of Cedartown and a power transformer apparently burned when a power line was blown down.
