Another brief tornado touched down along the Clarke/Oglethorpe county line just south of Winterville. This tornado tracked nearly due east and snapped or uprooted several trees between Robert Hardeman Road and Arnoldsville Road, including West Beaverdam Road. Along Tim Lane, a roof was also blown off a small barn. From this point, the short-lived tornado turned northeast and lifted just south of Hargrove Lake Road where just a few larger tree limbs were seen snapped.

 

Some trees were downed along West Beaverdam Rd. This tree was downed on Arnoldsville Road.
