EF0 tornado touchdown confirmed in Floyd County

Channel 2's Christian Jennings is in Floyd County, where there was minor damage to homes and debris was scattered across lawns on Booger Hollow Road. Several trees were also down in the remote area.

The National Weather Service has confirmed a weak tornado touched down in Floyd County overnight as a system of strong storms moved through North Georgia.

A NWS survey team determined that EF0-strength winds, about 75 mph, touched down along a short track on Booger Hollow Road east of Cave Spring, Channel 2 Action News reported.

A final determination on the tornado’s strength has not been made, Channel 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz said. The tornado’s start and end time, path length and width, and overall rating will be determined at a later time, he said.

The roofs of multiple mobile homes were damaged, the news station reported. One home’s carport was destroyed, and a trampoline was lifted into the air mangled when the tornado-force winds came through.
