The National Weather Service office in Peachtree City has confirmed that three other tornadoes struck Gilmer County the night of May 8.
The weather service previously confirmed one EF1 tornado in the Ellington Road area was part of the severe storm system, which hit just before midnight.
The three other tornadoes occurred on Tails Creek Road, Weeks Road and Owltown Road/Mount Zion Road.
The weather service has rated the Tails Creek Road tornado at EF1 and the other two at EF0. According to their report, each of them lasted from two to three minutes and had damaging wind speeds of 85-90 miles per hour.
The Tails Creek tornado caused significant damage mostly to trees, with hundreds snapped or uprooted in a path less than 1 mile long and up to 200 yards wide. Little to no damage was documented beyond Woodridge Drive and Tails Creek Road/Highway 282, the report noted.
Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, including some that fell on homes, as one of the tornadoes crossed Weeks Road and Carson Cove Road. The path of that tornado was just under 1 mile and up to 250 yards wide.
The Owltown tornado was likely associated with the same severe storm that spawned the Ellington Road tornado, the weather service stated. It covered a path almost 2 miles long and up to 200 yards wide.
The official tornado count from the May 8-9 severe weather event includes eight so far, including the four confirmed in Gilmer.
Other tornadoes occurred in Dodge, Wheeler and Laurens County on May 9.
