Survey Summary:
Around 7:03 PM EDT, an EF0 tornado touched down in Waycross, GA
beginning near Magnolia St and Clifton Grove St. As the tornado
trekked northeastward, it caused large softwood trees to either
snap near the base of their trunk or snap large branches that
ultimately fell on homes. The fallen tree branches damaged roofs,
gutters and/or siding to homes along Holly St, Euclid Ave, and
Camellia Dr. Multiple large hardwood trees were uprooted and some
damaged nearby fences along Laurel St, Shadow Lawn, Baltimore Ave,
and Jasmine Cir. Damaging winds caused the partial loss of
shingles to homes along Camellia Dr and Jasmine Cir. The tornado
dissipated just north of Jasmine Cir near Caney branch stream
around 7:08 PM EDT.
