Back in Jan, I was driving through Georgia between Macon and Atlanta and there was one part where the trees were literally stripped and destroyed and I tried to look for it on Google satellite. I didn’t see anything but I figured it was a tornado that passed through. I forgot the mile markers which would have made it easier to find.

I also remember almost 10 years ago was the Evansville, IN tornado and one of my friends lives near the path. His house was untouched where as like 5 houses down, houses were literally trashed ! By US 41 on the KY side, there is a filling station with a tobacco shop, it was untouched but it was also next to the path. A piece of wood went into the metal in the gas island and was there for several years until some work was done.

I've been driving between FL and GA on that route 2-6 times per year since 1990. I just noticed that patch last year. It must be new.

And it is scary wide. Before I saw your post, I was looking for it on Google earth too. The imagery is too old I guess.

I drive through the path of the EF3-4 tornado that hit near my house on the same day as the Berry storm fairly regularly. What is most amazing is that there is a double wide in the path of destruction that only suffered some minor roof damage while all around there is nothing but downed trees. Those are the kind of people I want praying for me the next time something serious comes my way.
