| 12:23Z | EF1 | KFFC | GA | Coweta | Handy | A brief tornado began near Payton Rd and Boone Rd in northwest|Coweta County just east of Chattahoochee Bend State Park, downing|trees, several falling on homes. The tornado traveled east-|southeast along Boone Rd downing additional trees with the most|intense damage with maximum winds estimated at 90 mph occurred|near the 100 block of Boone Rd where dozens of trees were blown|down, some on homes. Fortunately, the tornado lifted shortly|after this time. |
| 16:02Z | EF1 | KFFC | GA | Harris | New Hope | A tornado occurred over mainly rural areas of northwest Harris|County around midday on Monday (Memorial Day), May 27th. Along|and just to the east of Pine Lake Road, debris from trees was|scattered around near a residence (1660 Pine Lake Road). A|tornado debris signature (TDS) was noted (from KFFC radar) around|this area which supports the tree damage. The storm/tornado|continued its track east-southeast with trees snapped or uprooted|along GA Hwy 219 near mile marker 14. This is just west of I-185,|again in a very rural area. Another brief TDS was noted (from|KMXX radar) near Hawks Road just west of a high-tension power|line region that runs north-to-south across the area. EM|officials traveled via ATVs in this area and noted a significant|number (greater than 30) trees either snapped or uprooted. Little|damage was noted on the east side of this area and radar shows|the circulation quickly dissipating after 1612z. Based on the|number and magnitude of tree damage, we are estimating max winds|of 90 MPH which would make this an EF-1 tornado. |
| 22:20Z | EF1 | KBGM | PA | Wayne | Rutledgedale | A brief tornado touched down near the intersection of Oregon Turnpike and Cochecton Turnpike in West Damascus in the early evening of May 27th. The tornado initially produced minor tree and crop damage and lifted some debris into powerlines. It then|continued eastward and crossed Cochecton Turnpike as well as Rutledgedale Road, uprooted a very large tree, and lofted additional debris into the tree. The tornado then crossed through a farm and caused significant roof and structural damage to a couple of barns. This is where the tornado was at its peak strength, with a metal roof partially lifted off a barn and a large wooden door ripped off another barn. Debris was also lofted down a hill roughly 100 feet away. Some minor tree and crop damage was observed down this hill, which was the last visible damage of the survey and the determined location where the tornado lifted. |
| 22:38Z | EF0 | KDVN | MO | Scotland | Azen | A brief tornado caused outbuilding and tree damage early. A trained spotter also observed a narrow, short path through grass and a tree line. The tornado had maximum winds around 85 mph and was rated EF-0. There were no injuries. |
| 23:38Z | EF1 | KBGM | PA | Schuylkill | Mahanoy City | A NWS storm survey confirmed that an EF1 tornado impacted Mahanoy City the evening of May 27, 2024. The tornado touched down just west of Mahanoy City around 7:38pm. Several trees were uprooted as the tornado traveled northeastward into Mahanoy City and crossed East Railroad Street. Shingles and wooden debris were lofted into the air, and several impalements of wood into roofs and into the ground were observed. Several windows on the local elementary school were damaged as well. The tornado crossed train tracks just north of Mahanoy City and uprooted several additional trees before lifting after it crossed Glendon Road around 7:44 p.m. EDT. |
