At least 1 confirmed tornado touched down in west Georgia during overnight storms

The National Weather Service has confirmed at least one brief tornado touched down in west Georgia during overnight storms Thursday.

The damage survey team said the brief, spin-up tornado occurred in Troup County around 4:30 a.m.

NWS is still working to finalize the tornado’s intensity but says the damage came from either a high EF-0 or a low-end EF-1 storm.

Channel 2′s Tom Regan showed a live look at the damage in LaGrange from Friday’s storms. The damage ranged from downed trees, and power lines to some structural damage.

Powerful winds smashed a sign and tore off part of the roof of the county health department building. The roof of a brewery across the street partially collapsed. Fortunately no one was inside.

There was also damage to LaGrange College and Callaway Stadium.

The LaGrange community is still picking up the pieces after two EF-2 tornadoes happened last month. The storms damaged hundreds of home in several subdivisions.
