Report source: NWS Storm Survey. A rogue mini-supercell produced a relatively brief tornado over|the northern part of Lake Lanier, just several miles north of|Gainesville, in Hall County during the early evening hours|Friday, May 2nd. Fortunately, the tornado, which was on the|ground for about 9 minutes (2.7 miles), traveled mainly over|water between coves and bluffs along the lake. Much of the damage|was to various trees that were either snapped or uprooted. Initial|damage was noted off of Thompson Bridge Road (Hwy 60) near|Lakewood Baptist Church where at least 10-15 large trees were|uprooted in a narrow path. Across Hwy 60, additional trees were|down across an apartment complex along N Cliff Colony Drive. The|tornado then went over the lake/water where numerous eye-witness|(video) accounts were starting to come in. The
