5 WNW Carrollton - Owens NWS meteorologists conducted a storm survey on January 6 that revealed an EF1 tornado that impacted parts of Pickens County the previous evening. The tornado began over an inaccessible area southeast of Zach Simon Road and moved east-northeastward for nearly seven miles. Along County Road 7, a house had metal roofing removed, and several pine and cedar trees were downed or had limbs broken off. The tornado was at its widest and strongest point along Pine Grove Road, where numerous trees were downed, including a stand of pine trees along the road of which approximately 15-20 trunks were snapped. Power lines were downed by falling trees. A couple uprooted pine trees fell onto a garage and the adjacent house sustained partial roof loss. More trees were uprooted and limbs were snapped as the tornado moved across a farm along McDaniel Road. The path became more narrow along McShane Road/Phoenix Avenue, where several trees were downed on both sides of the road in a 125 yard-wide swath. Along County Road 12, a few more trees and limbs were downed, and a small wooden power pole was snapped, causing the power lines to fall. Along Highway 17 near Herbert Windle Road, a couple trees were downed near a house and across the highway several cedar limbs were downed near another house. The tornado is estimated to have ended at this point. Start: 33.2937/-88.1714 End: 33.3130/-88.0542 |
