An EF-1 tornado touched down west of Greensboro just north of Highway 278 along Northwoods Drive. Several homes had trees snapped and uprooted around them all along the lakeshore. One home had several windows blown in. The tornado continued to the northwest along the eastern shoreline of Lake Oconee, snapping and uprooting trees around the homes along the lakeshore. In particular, Arrowhead Road and Quail Trails had numerous homes with trees snapped and uprooted around them. Several boathouses were destroyed along with several outbuildings and sheds. Many of the homes suffered minor damage with only a few receiving more significant damage where trees fell onto them. The tornado continued to the northwest along the lake in mainly uninhabited areas until it crossed Greenbriar Drive where many large limbs and branches were downed. The tornado weakened as it crossed Copelan Road into a wooded area to the west of the road.
