Brief tornado touchdown with no damage. Reported by the Cook County Sheriff.

A tornado touched down just north of Lenox near U.S. Highway 41 and Darden Road. It traveled northwest and passed over Interstate 75. Along its path, it downed numerous trees and heavily damaged a barn near Sugar Hill Road.

Video taken by the public and posted on social media confirmed that a very brief tornado occurred near Reed Bingham State Park . The tornado appeared to last around one minute or less. The only damage as reported by the emergency manager was part of a tree that fell on a house. The tornado was rated EF0.

This is a continuation of the northeast Brooks county tornado. The tornado then continued into Cook County. Still at EF-3 strength, it swept about 35 manufactured homes into a pile of rubble at the far end of the Sunshine Acres mobile home park . Seven people lost their lives. The tornado then went on to destroy about two thirds of a brick home on Val Del Road , collapsing in two walls and removing most of the second story. Another home built of concrete blocks was destroyed. A nearby farm had several concrete anchors for a large metal structure pulled from the ground . Max winds were estimated near 140 mph. Damage cost was estimated.

This tornado started near the intersection of Hutchinson Parrish and Howard Bennett Roads and moved north-northeast across an open field, growing in size to roughly 0.3 miles wide. The tornado then impacted an irrigation pivot along the south side of Boone Road, before impacting several residences on the north side of Boone Road. While there were sporadic instances of trees uprooted or snapped, all structural damage associated with this tornado was minor and mainly limited to the loss of metal roofs and shingles. Damage cost was estimated.

This long-track tornado was produced by the same thunderstorm that spawned a tornado in upstream Pelham, GA. The tornado touched down south of Moultrie, GA just west of U.S. 319 and produced damage consistent with EF-1 winds through most of its long track. Most of the damage was in the form of snapped or uprooted trees. As the tornado crossed GA route 133, it caused significant damage to a warehouse at the Farmer's Gin and Peanut Company. The tornado reached its maximum intensity of 110 mph, which is just shy of EF-2, at the east end of Pike Creek Turf Circle. Here it snapped many large pine trees at their base. The tornado caused some minor roof damage to a home on McConnell Bridge Road before flipping a small plane upside down at the Cook County Airport . The tornado crossed I-75 at the Adel, GA exit damaging several billboards and tall signs. In downtown Adel, the tornado ripped off large sections of two warehouses on 3rd Street belonging to the Adel Ice Company. Many trees were toppled onto homes in the vicinity of East 9th and 10th Streets. Winds were estimated to be 95-100 mph in Adel. The tornado continued eastward snapping a few trees on GA Highway 37 East and in the Indian Creek Road subdivision. The tornado then snapped trees on Register Road and significantly damaged a large shed before lifting.It should be noted that a large swath of straight-line wind damage occurred to the south of the tornado track along much of its length from the Langdale Parkway in Colquitt County through Cecil, GA and eastward into northwestern Lanier County. These winds were estimated to be 90-95 mph in Cecil.

A brief tornado touched down in farther southern Cook county. Only damage to trees was reported with no structural damage. A dual-pol tornadic debris signature was observed on radar. This tornado was rated EF0.

An NWS survey team determined an EF-1 tornado with maximum winds of 90 mph occurred northeast of Adel, GA on Thursday, December 30. The tornado initially touched down on Boone Road, west of Rowan Road where it snapped multiple trees. As the tornado crossed Rowan Road, it caused roof damage to several homes and outbuildings. In addition, several outbuildings were destroyed near this location. The tornado continued to track northeast and eventually lifted north of the intersection of Lonnie Grimsley Road and Tarrant Road . The tornado was on the ground for approximately 2.2 miles.

The tornado began just west of Interstate-75 before crossing through portions of Adel, GA in Cook County. The first significant structural damage consistent with EF2 intensity was done to a single-family home-style building on W Mitchell St between I-75 and N Elm St. Half of the structure was shifted off its slab and bolted foundation. Adjacent mini trailers were also flipped in addition to sheets of metal lofted about a hundred feet from the property. The second location of EF2 damage was off US-Highway 41 and South Ave near Carr Dr where a large metal structure building was shifted off its bolted foundation . Some steel beams were also ripped off with a couple lofted to a nearby residential area . Multiple large trees on the property had their trunks snapped, while others were uprooted. Numerous damaged/fallen trees, some uprooted, had snapped and twisted trunks in a residential neighborhood along Kent Dr. Several of these trees fell on top of a few homes. The damages in that area were consistent with EF1 intensity. Continued tree damage was observed throughout the east side of the county along with a series of knocked over centerline irrigation pivots. The tornado then destroyed a motorhome and snapped several trees along Joiner Rd before lifting near the Cook County/Berrien County border. Max winds were estimated at 115 mph.
