National Weather Service survey teams have confirmed that three tornadoes hit our part of the state during the severe weather outbreak on Sunday and Monday.
This tornado started in the Tysonville Road area of extreme western Macon County, with tree limbs and small trees blown down. Damage became more concentrated along County Road 138, where a carport was destroyed. There was tree damage on County Road 40, with some falling on power lines. The top of a silo was blown off. The cotton gin in Milstead had major damage, with failure to the roof and outer walls. Two nearby buildings had lesser damage.
Numerous concrete power poles were pulled down across the railroad tracks, while a pivot irrigation system was flipped. Trees were downed along County Road 9 for about three miles as well as minor roof damage to homes. Damage became more scattered in the Franklin community, but there was more concentrated tree damage on the east side of County Road 27 before the tornado dissipated.
