Steep mid-level lapse rates and an upper level trough moving through combined to produce a few severe storms across the area.  Damaging straight line winds and one isolated, weak tornado occurred.

Sporadic tree damage occurred across parts of southern Worth County, with a more concentrated area of damage in the southwest part of the county along and just west of Highway 133. Specifically, the more substantial damage was near the following roads near Hwy 133: Toni Lee, Carlton, Chil Redge, and Liberty Hill. The damage extended approximately 1 mile in a north-south direction and 1 mile in a west-east direction, with most debris blown to the northeast. The circular nature of the area of concentrated damage and consistent nature of the directionality of the damage suggests that it was caused by a small downburst known as a microburst. Much of the damage was consistent with wind gusts of 65-70 mph. However, two residences near the intersection of Carlton Rd and Chil Redge Lane received more significant damage. Several large tree limbs were snapped off. Siding was ripped from the homes, as well as some shingles. A metal shed and metal porch overhang had some material removed and strewn downstream as much as 100 yards. Some wood 2x4s were also blown northeast from the shed and one punctured a screened patio. This sort of damage is consistent with peak gusts in the 80-85 mph range.  Monetary damage was estimated.

Tornado in TIFT, GEORGIA

A fairly narrow corridor of damage points began west of Salem Church Rd about 0.8 mi south of Hwy 82 to the WSW of the city of Tifton. In these areas, mainly tree damage was noted with some large tree limbs snapped and a few trees uprooted. This damage path continued ENE into the vicinity of the Little River, before re-emerging just south of (and along) Hwy 82 near some residences and businesses. The first area affected was a neighborhood of manufactured homes centered around a pond along the south side of Highway 82. Tree damage was noted just south of this with some snapped trees and limbs. One home that was sitting on blocks slid off the blocks and was blown approximately 20 feet. Most of the other homes had only minor damage. A chain link fence was blown down to the north on the south side of the pond, while two billboards mounted on wooden poles were blown down to the west right along Highway 82 (north of the pond). The wooden support poles were snapped. This was indicative of a convergent damage pattern associated with a tornado. Just to the east, near the intersection of Hwy 82 and Marshall Drive, two sheds were flipped and blown back to the southwest - further indicating a convergent damage pattern. Other light debris along Highway 82 was blown in a similar direction. The tornado likely then shifted its motion to slightly south of east, and affected several more businesses north of Marshall Drive and south of Highway 82. Security camera footage from a business in this area showed some swirling rain curtains before very low visibility in strong winds prior to a loss of power. A metal building under construction near the intersection of Carpenter Rd and Marshall Dr was damaged and partially collapsed. Because construction was incomplete, it likely made it easier for the wind to cause the structure to fail. As the tornado crossed Carpenter Rd it likely began to dissipate as damage began to get more sporadic further east by Highway 319. There was some tree damage east of Carpenter Rd, and both the Lowe`s and Wal-Mart to the south of Highway 82 indicated they had some minor roof damage with some AC units moved or tipped over.  Monetary damage was estimated.

An irrigation pivot was flipped along Isabella-Nashville Road to the southwest of the beginning of the tornado.  More concentrated tree damage was located just east along Salem Church Road as well.  Further wind damage was noted in the city of Tifton, mainly to the south and southeast of the tornado damage path. In addition to being slightly south of the trajectory of the tornado, the damage in this area was not continuous, more sporadic, and was in a consistent direction (blown in a general NE direction). Therefore, it was determined that this was likely due to NON-tornadic winds. The damage was most notable from near Old Omega Rd and I-75 east towards the vicinity of Beech Street south of downtown. The damage in these areas mostly consisted of tree limbs snapped off or trees uprooted. There was some metal roofing taken off a building along Beech street as well. A couple street signs were blown down.  Winds were estimated at 65-75 mph.  Monetary damage was estimated.
