            County Rd 650 100 yards into McDonough 

            County where it did significant tree damage, 

            producing wind speeds around 115 mph. It 

            then crossed into Fulton County along Waters

            more extensive tree damage, snapping off 

            large trees. It moved east, passing just 

            north of Table Grove then reached its peak 

            intensity of 130 mph when it laid down a 

            swath of tree damage 500 yards wide, 

            snapping off trees up to 2 to 3 feet in 

            diameter just north of Rifle Range Rd. The 

            tornado curved northeast through mostly 

            forested area, where additional tree damage 

            occurred along with some outbuilding damage. 

            The tornado dissipated as it approached E 

            Holler Rd.
