Rating: EF2 Estimated Peak Wind: 120-125 mph Path Length /statute/: 15.8 miles Path Width /maximum/: 800 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 04/12/2020 Start Time: 8:15 PM EDT EST Start Location: 1.8 miles NW of Summerville (Chattooga County) Start Lat/Lon: 34.4990 / -85.3689 End Date: 04/12/2020 End Time: 8:32 PM EDT End Location: 4.2 miles SE of LaFayette GA (Walker County) End Lat/Lon: 34.6660 / -85.2150 Storm Summary: This tornado originated just north of Summerville in Chattooga county where several trees were snapped or uprooted around the Hair Lake Road/Mahan Road intersection. The tornado traveled northeast, continuing to snap or uproot small to medium-sized trees. A 10K pound camper was overturned by the tornado near Orchard Hill Road otherwise structural damage was mainly confined to shingles and/or siding being pulled off homes. As the tornado continued to travel toward the town of Pennville over some remote terrain, it appeared to briefly intensify over Back Penn Road, just west of Hwy 27. A trailer was destroyed and one corner of a barn’s exterior wall was heavily damaged. Multiple trees around this property were uprooted as well. The damage at this point was consistent with an EF- 1 (90-95 MPH winds). Mainly pockets of tree damage and minor structural (roof) damage was then seen as the tornado moved just east of Trion, beginning to encounter Taylor Ridge and the Walker county line. The tornado crossed the Chattooga/Walker county line nearly paralleling Halls Valley Road. Trees were down on either side of the road as the tornado appeared to turn more north, possibly being affected by the higher terrain/ridge to the east. More significant tree damage was seen along Ramey Road just before Hwy 151. Evidence of numerous large trees snapped along with more intense structural damage along 151 just east of Halls Valleys Road suggested the tornado intensified to EF-1 quickly. It was also at this time that a small Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) was seen from KHTX (Hytop AL) radar. About 1/4 mile up the hill from 151 and Halls Valley Road, a 2-story home was hit hard. The entire second story and roof were removed with heavy damage to the exterior walls. A jeep was also tossed more than 150 yards from its original location. An additional home had a good portion of its roof torn off on one side while the floor above the garage collapsed on the other side. Windows and doors were blown out and numerous large pines were snapped about halfway down. It was in this area between the Hwy 151 and Halls Valley Road intersection and Beard Drive, the tornado was at its strongest (EF-2) with max winds between 120-125 MPH. The tornado then crossed Hwy 151 around Mildred’s Way with more snapped/uprooted trees, then appeared to quickly weaken as it rode the west-side of Taylor’s Ridge. Tree damage dropped off and ended near Smith Gap Road with no other damage seen beyond this point. .Murray County Tornado...

Additional damage was seen along a path that crossed Twin Lakes Road and Hwy 286 where a few trees were snapped or uprooted and minor roof/siding damage occurred at several homes. The tornado appeared to briefly strengthen around Ellis Circle where there was more notable exterior damage to homes along with a higher number of trees seen uprooted. As the tornado crossed Fullers Chapel Road, noticeable strengthening occurred. Aerial drone footage indicated a wide swath of large trees cut down just before Norton Bridge Road. Then, at least 8 double-wide manufactured homes were completely destroyed along Deer Park Drive, with several others sustaining some type of damage. It was here the tornado quickly jumped to EF-2 intensity with max winds around 125 MPH. Continuing north- northeast, similar significant damage was seen along Ridgeview Lane and Fieldview Court, where additional (mainly doublewide) manufactured homes were destroyed. Also, a recently built cell tower was left crumpled by the intense winds. At this point, the tornado reached its peak intensity with max winds around 135 MPH (high-end EF2). The tornado maintained its EF-2 intensity as it crossed over Zion Church Hill Road, just before Hwy 225. As the strong tornado crossed 225, a small single-family home was heavily damaged with just a couple of interior walls left standing. Along Jim Petty Road, there were 4 large chicken houses – one was completely destroyed with heavy damage to 2 of the other 3. Debris was thrown several hundred yards away. Estimated winds continued in the 110-120 MPH range in this area. Heading north along Jim Petty Road near Hawkins Road, the damage appeared to lessen quickly with just a few trees down and minor structural (roof) damage to a shed. Very little if any damage was then seen beyond Baxter Road. The tornado is believed to have lifted just before Sumac Ridge. .Dade County Tornado...
