The National Weather Service said the tornado packed winds of 75 mph and was three-fourths of a football field wide.
The tornado carved a two-mile swatch from a cove between Sweetwater Point and Club View Court just south of Gaines Ferry Road and headed east-southeast for two miles.
It snapped and uprooted trees, with one falling onto a two-car garage. It carved a similar path from Secret Cove Court to Athletic Club Drive where the damage became more sporadic.

The football field-sized tornado trekked east to Towne Mill Avenue before it lifted. During its three minutes on the ground, it snapped and uprooted several trees, threw a large trampoline about 150 yards into a neighboring home, blew out a large window, down a fence, and destroyed a small barn and RV.
