The National Weather Service says it has confirmed four tornadoes from the severe storms that swept across Georgia on Good Friday.

The confirmed tornadoes included EF1s in Crisp, Pickens and Chattahoochee counties and also an ef0 in Chattahoochee. The Weather Service said it still had teams checking on possible tornadoes in Chatooga, Dooley, Gordon, Hancock and Wilcox counties.

There were no reports of deaths in Georgia.

Ken Davis of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency said Saturday that a nursing home in Richmond County had its roof destroyed, with patients being moved to hospitals in the area. He said there were no reports of injuries.

He said GEMA also had reports of homes destroyed or damaged in Burke, Putnam, Terrell, Crisp, Columbia, Wilcox and Hancock counties. Davis said there were some injuries, but no deaths reported.

In Cobb, Ga., a small community on the Flint River at the Sumter-Crisp county line, experienced its third brush with danger and tragedy in a little over three weeks. Heavy rain three weeks ago caused flooding that forced some people to evacuate. Last week, 5-year-old Kenneth Phillips Jr., of Byron, visiting family, went missing and was discovered hours later — a victim of drowning in the river.

Friday night’s storm slammed the area around 11:30 to 11:45, caused a power outage, as well as trees to be uprooted, roofs to cave in, and other damage. Residents were reminded of the 2007 tornado that devastated nearby Americus.

Sustaining almost a total loss was the home of former Crisp County Commissioner, Ferrell Henry, and his wife, Arleeta. The Henrys live in Cordele but spent the weekends at their Cobb house.

“You know, we’re blessed,” Ferrell Henry said. “Usually, we’re out here on the weekends, and when this happened, I would have been sitting in that chair.”

He pointed to a recliner in the middle of the living room, directly underneath a hole in the ceiling where a tree had fallen through.

Pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that his wife had completed were strewn through the area, knick knacks were tossed about, and in the kitchen, roofing covered the whole room.

Henry shook his head, “You know. In the Flood of ’94, this house was covered with water, up to here.” He put his hand up to his nose to indicate the level of the water.

Wife Arleeta worked nearby with friends, neighbors and others gathering up personal items to salvage. “We just remodeled the house in 1996,” Ferrell Henry’s eyes were bright and wide. A tree, a beautiful pine, lay smack in the middle of a bedroom.

A neighbor and contractor, Larry Walker, who assisted with the house in 1996, said, “Yeah, and we might be thinking about relocation.”

Arleeta Henry, though small in stature, stood tall among the debris, and said, “We are so thankful for the people who came out to check the area, and help out.”
