Pictures of Storm Damage
The wintry weather as of late has been treacherous, confusing and unpredictable. Take this week alone – rolling thunderstorms created torrential downpours early in the week, clear skies with highs in the 70s for mid-week wrapping up with a cold front producing tornadic winds on Friday evening turning into a wintry mix of snow for Saturday. If winter is this bad, what will spring bring?
The story in Douglas County is that a mini-supercell tornado jumped around in the south-central part of the county damaging the Kroger grocery store, at the corner of Central Church Road and Chapel Hill Road, and neighboring homes. At least one home in the Brookmont subdivision sustained a large amount of damage with its rear wall collapsing.
Check out the photos below of the damage that was found around the area. More photographs are available on Losing Georgia’s Flickr Photostream.

There was some major tree damage to the properties along the dirt road past Brighten Academy. The road was closed to through traffic as of Sat. evening. I didn’t see any shots of those sheared off trees in your flickr pictures.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:34 pmThe tree damage on Warren Road was utterly amazing. I am so thankful that none of the schools (Harvester, Brighten, Chapel Hill Middle) were damaged and that no one was hurt!
