| 22:55Z | EF1 | KFFC | GA | Hall | Gnesville Cotton Mil | A rogue mini-supercell produced a relatively brief tornado over|the northern part of Lake Lanier, just several miles north of|Gainesville, in Hall County during the early evening hours|Friday, May 2nd. Fortunately, the tornado, which was on the|ground for about 9 minutes (2.7 miles), traveled mainly over|water between coves and bluffs along the lake. Much of the damage|was to various trees that were either snapped or uprooted. Initial|damage was noted off of Thompson Bridge Road (Hwy 60) near|Lakewood Baptist Church where at least 10-15 large trees were|uprooted in a narrow path. Across Hwy 60, additional trees were|down across an apartment complex along N Cliff Colony Drive. The|tornado then went over the lake/water where numerous eye-witness|(video) accounts were starting to come in. The next point of|damage was near the west-end of Basin Road where several trees|were snapped or uprooted. The tornado continued to travel|generally north going over mostly water and an uninhabited|bluff/island. Significant damage occurred over The Bluffs along|Cochran Road and Willow Trace. Here, at least 5-7 residences had|several large trees snapped or uprooted. Thankfully, no|structural damage happened. In this area, and back early in the|tornado's track, tree damage is consistent with peak winds around|90 MPH (an EF1) rating. |
