Survey Summary: 
During the pre-dawn hours of February 6th, within a fast-moving
line of strong to severe thunderstorms, a brief tornado touched
down along the Bartow/Gordon county line in northwest Georgia. The
worst of the damage was confined to a small area along East
Plainview Road SE where 10-12 large trees were uprooted and a
manufactured home had its entire roof ripped off and was slightly
moved off its foundation. Trees and debris were thrown to the
north, nearly perpendicular to the east-northeast storm movement.
Homes on either side of this location sustained some roof damage
as well, but no significant structural damage was noted. The
tornado continued east-northeast, hitting another home and lifting
and damaging part of its front deck. A few small trees were
snapped along Shope Lake Road SE. The tornado dissipated just east
of this point.
