A large squall-line (Mesoscale Convective System) moved across mainly North and East-Central GA during the afternoon and early evening hours of July 20th. Conditions were very favorable for damaging winds along and ahead of well-developed cold pool, with high instability and elevated Downdraft-CAPE. Widespread damage occurred from far north Georgia to east-central GA (Warren County), with very intense winds (80-90+mph) estimated from damage across parts of Cherokee and Forsyth counties.

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A survey of northern Forsyth County was done to assess whether or
not a tornado occurred. The NWS assessment concluded that
widespread significant wind damage occurred and that a tornado
path within the large scale wind damage was not discernible. The
particular area of focus started on Oak Grove Circle southeast
across Dahlonega Hwy, along Tallant Road and across Hopewell
Road. Radar data suggests that this region was located at the apex
of a bowing segment within the thunderstorm complex which had
already caused significant widespread wind damage. Tree fall
patterns along Tallant Road, Hopewell Rd and south of Tallant Road
along Dahlonega Hwy were more suggestive of straight line winds
or downburst due to the fanning out pattern observed. While it is
possible that a tornado can form along a leading edge of a bowing
segment which would resemble an eddy, we were unable to discern
from the damage if that had occurred. Regardless, a wind event
took place in this region which resembled mid range EF1 damage.
Several reporting stations throughout northern Forsyth County
recorded wind gusts of 68 and 69 mph. Winds with these pockets of
more intense tree damage, particularly along Tallant Road, is
estimated to have been 90-95mph.

considerable. The tornado formed on the north side a surge in the
winds along Long Swamp Church road very near the Bent Tree Lodge

snapped and uprooted in this area. The tornado continued eastward
through a wooded area crossing Dank road behind several homes on

intensity as it crossed Fitts and Dank Roads where numerous trees
were snapped and uprooted, 1 home lost its roof, another home

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A survey of northern Cherokee County was done to assess whether
or not a tornado occurred.  The NWS assessment concluded that
widespread significant wind damage occurred and that a tornado
path within the large scale wind damage was not discernible.  The
particular area of focus started along Fincher Road east along
Dixon Road, crossing Upper Burris Road south to Land Road.
Significant tree damage and pockets of more significant tree
damage was noted in and around Dixon Road east to Upper Burris
Road.  Roof damage to homes in the area was also noted and used
to help estimate overall max wind speeds.  Tree fall patterns
along Dixon Road east across Upper Burris south to Land Road were
suggestive of a downburst in the region with a fanning out
pattern observed on on the ground. It should be noted that damage
was observed across an area over 3.5 miles wide.  Tree damage
extended north along Upper Bethany road over 1.5 miles north of
Land Road.  The survey concluded that maximum wind speeds within
the more significant pockets of damage likely reached 90 mph.
