Moved NE from Eufaula, Alabama. In Georgia, one person was injured as a fire tower was blown down south of Lumpkin. The funnel turned NE, killing one person and destroying small homes at "Pleasant Valley," midway between Lumpkin and Richland.

The tornado moved from Clay County into Quitman County along Hatcher Road before it lifted. Numerous trees were snapped.

The Eufaula police department reported a tornado on the ground near Georgetown. However, no damage was reported.

The tornado touched down in extreme southeastern Barbour County in the White Oak community producing EF1 damage on White Oak Drive. The tornado then crossed Sandy Creek into Henry County's White Oak subdivision producing mostly EF1 damage across the entire width of the neighborhood between Sandy Creek and White Oak Creek. However, a double-wide manufactured home on Laurel Drive was shifted about 8 feet despite being strapped to the ground by 2 to 3 foot anchors which were completely pulled from the ground. This justified EF2 damage in this location with winds estimated at 115 mph. The tornado then crossed the Walter F. George Reservoir, also known as Lake Eufaula, into the state of Georgia with EF1 damage on the eastern shore of the lake along County Road 28. The tornado came ashore at the Quitman-Clay County line producing damage in both counties primarily in the form of uprooted trees. The trees damaged several homes. Debris from a lakeside porch was lofted and deposited on the opposite side of the home and strewn across an adjacent field. The tornado continued northeastward across rural Quitman County hitting the Self Family Farm on Self Road. The tornado did significant damage to the roof of a well constructed brick home, removing the majority of the roof. The walls of a brick outbuilding collapsed. There were also numerous trees snapped or uprooted adjacent to the home, two of which were debarked. This damage was consistent with EF2 winds of about 115 mph. Just northeast of the house, an irrigation pivot was toppled with the northern portion falling toward the southwest and the southern portion falling in the opposite direction. The tornado continued northeast across more rural areas causing EF1 damage to trees on County Road 82 before lifting shortly thereafter.

A strong/cycling tornado crossed into Georgia along the Chattahoochee River, about 2-3 miles south of Lakepoint Resort State Park, causing considerable tree damage along State Hwy 39 in northern Quitman county. The tornado raced east with more trees snapped or uprooted along Hwy 27, just south of CR 10. Based on the surveyable damage (mainly trees), EF-0 to EF-1 damage was noted with max wind speeds estimated around 100 mph. The tornado appeared to briefly weaken near Hwy 27, but quickly re-intensified as it crossed the Quitman/Stewart county line.

The tornado moved across the Chattahoochee River from Barbor County, Alabama and crossed into Georgia along Deer Point Rd. Trees were snapped and a home suffered roof damage along the river . The tornado continued moving east northeast just to the south of Deer Point Rd snapping and uprooting dozens of trees along its path. A home had an outbuilding completely destroyed and a barn was destroyed as well . The tornado continued further into Quitman County eventually crossing HWY 82 where several trees were downed including one that crushed a mobile home. A man in the mobile home was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Damage, consisting of snapped and uprooted trees continued to the east northeast through eastern Quitman County into Randolph County. The last accessible damage was along HWY 27 six miles north of Cuthbert where a few dozen pine trees were snapped and other trees were uprooted. The tornado continued into inaccessible areas further east at this point. The tornado was rated EF1 was max winds estimated at 100 mph for both Quitman and Randolph counties. Damage cost was estimated.

A tornado touched down near the Clay-Quitman county line, causing minor tree damage. The tornado continued northeast and crossed Beachom Road in Quitman county. The most significant tree damage was seen in this location with numerous trees uprooted or snapped. The tornado continued northeastward through inaccessible areas before crossing Lower Morris Road and dissipating just south of US Highway 82.
