STORM · COMPILED RECORD REPORT

Tornado reported near GIRARD at 0600 (NOAA event 1232492)

Report source: NWS Storm Survey. A National Weather Service storm survey determined that one of two close proximity EF-0 tornadoes touched down east of Girard, GA with peak wind speeds of 80 mph. The northernmost tornado began near the intersection of Stoney Bluff Road and Thankful Church Road where it snapped several pine trees. The tornado then continued northeast into an inaccessible heavily wooded area, before snapping additional pine trees along River Road. Given a lack of access, this tornado is assumed to have dissipated just prior to reaching the Savannah River.
