Info
Tornado touched down and almost immediately produced EF3 damage at the Bay Hill Village & Marina. A two story condo collapsed, and a large metal building used for boat storage sustained EF2 damage. One boat was thrown 100 yards from the structure. Additional residences and condos had roof and exterior wall and siding damage, and numerous large trees were snapped or uprooted. Several docks with metal protective coverings were destroyed as well. Several power poles were snapped off at their bases past the marina before the tornado briefly weakened to EF1 intensity and caused mostly tree damage before striking a residential area near Highway 72. Several homes sustained structural damage there, with one un-anchored house being pushed off of its foundation and a metal building sustaining major damage. Damage was rated EF3 in this area. The tornado then entered the community of Coxey at EF2 strength, destroying a trailer park and snapping trees. The two fatalities occurred at the trailer park. The tornado maintained EF2 strength as it struck a small subdivision of manufactured homes further along the path. Minor damage occurred west of and through the north side of Athens before the tornado dissipated.
