Rising Fawn Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
The Dade County Emergency Management Director reported that dozens of trees and power lines were down throughout the county, even outside the EF1 tornado path that tracked from just south-southwest of Trenton to near the Tennessee border near Wildwood. The damage was the result of strong straight line winds of 60 mph or greater.
A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that yet a third tornado affected Dade county on this record tornado outbreak day. This tornado also originated in DeKalb county, Alabama. It crossed into Georgia near Fox Mountain and continued to just north-northwest of Rising Fawn before lifting. It tracked approximately three miles within Dade county. The tornado path length was approximately three miles with a maximum path width of 100 yards. Maximum winds were estimated to be 110 mph. The supercell thunderstorm that spawned this tornado went on later to spawn the catastrophic EF4 tornado that destroyed the town of Ringgold, Georgia in Catoosa county less than 30 minutes later. This tornado tracked across a largely rural area and as such damage was limited to hundreds of downed trees and several power lines in the area. Minor structural damage was noted to a few homes in Rising Fawn. No deaths or injuries were reported from this particular tornado.||Total damages from the three tornadoes and wind damage across Dade county on this day consist of 86 destroyed homes and/or businesses, 99 with major damage, and 25 with minor damage for a total of 210 affected structures.||[04/27-04/28/11: Tornado #3, County #1-1, EF1, Dade, 2011:012].
