Walls reported Friday Keith Stellman, with the National Weather Service, confirmed that WSB-TV's viewing area sustained five tornadoes on Monday, at least two on Wednesday and the number will keep going up as surveys continue.

Carroll County

A survey summary shows a brief tornado embedded within a line of strong to severe thunderstorms, touched down over central Carroll County, near the University of West Georgia, on Monday at 10:58 a.m. The tornado tracked northeast then turned slightly east before dissipating near Hwy 27 in Carrollton. Much of the tornado damage was snapped and uprooted trees, however, significant structural damage occurred to a fire station off Brumbelow Road. A styrofoam-metal roof was pulled off and in the process, a portion of the concrete exterior wall was destroyed. Numerous large trees were snapped or uprooted across the street from this location. Based on this damage, estimated winds were around 90 mph which resulted in an EF-1 rating for this tornado. Additional damage (mainly snapped trees) was seen in a north-south path between Cedar Street and Newnan Road, but was likely caused by strong inflow/thunderstorm winds.

Spalding County

A survey summary shows a very brief tornado touched down just northwest of the town of Griffin, near the University of Georgia - Griffin campus, on Monday at 12:35 p.m. In just over 1/2 mile, numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, some of them falling on several homes causing more extensive structural damage. The damage occurred in a narrow path between Melrose Avenue and Cedar Avenue, along and just south of Ellis Road. Based on the larger trees that were uprooted or snapped near their bases, a maximum wind of 85 mph was determined. This is a high-end EF-0 tornado.

Henry County

A survey summary shows a brief tornado touched down in southern Henry County, just south of the Locust Grove community, on Monday at 12:52 p.m. The tornado traveled in nearly a due east path for less than 2 miles and mainly snapped or uprooted trees. In a neighborhood off Jayley Parkway, numerous shingles were pulled off a roof of one resident. Just south of this location, a large tree fell on one corner of a house resulting in significant roof and exterior wall damage. Maximum winds were determined to be around 85 mph based on the numerous uprooted and snapped trees. The tornado lifted along Grove Pointe Circle just east of Locust Road. Note: This tornado was associated with the same storm that produced the Griffin EF-0 tornado, about 20 minutes earlier.

Fulton County

The tornado initially touched down on Campbellton Redwine Road, about 1/5 of a mile north of South Fulton Parkway, on Monday at 11:36 a.m. It then touched down intermittently eastward about 3.8 miles to Cochran Mill Park where it finally lifted. All damaged appeared to be tree damage. Most of the damage was E- 0. However, low end EF-1 damage was in Cochran Mill Park where over 100 hard wood and pine trees were down. Some snapped, but many uprooted.

Walls said the final surveys with the track and wind speeds of the tornadoes from Wednesday will come out in days to come. The NWS has been inundated with storm reports.

"It will take a few days to comb through everything," Walls said.
