Tornado rips through 5 miles of Georgia Army post

The National Weather Service says a tornado cut a destructive path more than 5 miles long at Fort Stewart in southeast Georgia.

The weather service confirmed Thursday afternoon that a tornad packing winds as powerful as 105 mph tore through the Army post Wednesday evening. It said the twister left a path 5.5 miles long and 300 yards wide.

Fort Stewart officials say no injuries were reported, but the tornado caused extensive property damage. As many as 50 residents living on the post were displaced because their homes need repairs, and there was major damage to six Army facilities.
