Tornado Archive
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been tracking tornadoes for decades. This interactive map, which contains data from January 1950 to February 29, 2024, pinpoints where a cyclone touched down and traces its path of destruction. For more recent tornadoes, clicking deeper provides more details, damage estimates and whether someone was injured or killed in the storm.

A National Weather Service Storm Survey determined that an EF-1 tornado touched down northwest of Gibson. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted along the 1.5 mile path. As the tornado crossed Georgia State Highway 171, it ripped off 20 percent of the metal roof from a home residence, tossed a camper trailer 50 feet, and knocked two mobile homes off their foundations. The occupant of one home had to be rescued. The worst damage occurred near the intersection of Georgia Highway 171 and Magnolia Church Road where 60 percent of the Magnolia Baptist Church roof was ripped off, and the brick-walled fellowship hall on the west end of the church was completely destroyed. Numerous tombstones and other structures at the adjoining cemetery near the church were also damaged.|[03/05/13: Tornado #1, County #1-1, EF1, Glasco*ck, 2013:003]. | |||||||

*** Enhanced Fujita Scale describes the strength of the tornado based on the amount and type of damage caused by the tornado. The F-scale of damage will vary in the destruction area; therefore, the highest value of the F-scale is recorded for each event. EF0 – Light Damage (40 – 72 mph), EF1 – Moderate Damage (73 – 112 mph), EF2 – Significant damage (113 – 157 mph), EF3 – Severe Damage (158 – 206 mph), EF4 – Devastating Damage (207 – 260 mph), EF5 – Incredible Damage (261 – 318 mph)
