According to initial reports, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning at 7:31 p.m. for Webb and parts of Henry County before the storm moved through the area.
Damage was reported along Highway 52 near the WDHN news station, with several areas along Peacock Road and Hydraulic Road also affected. Houston County Road and Bridge crews were quickly dispatched to assist, while Houston County deputies and EMS responded to the affected areas.
There were scattered pockets of damage in Webb as the storm system continued moving into Henry County.
Additional damage was later reported along County Road 15 near the 1300 block east of Headland, where one family’s home was destroyed along with a neighboring barn that took damage. No one has been reported injured.
It is understood that at least four structures in Henry County sustained damage from the storm system according to Henry County EMA director Matt Hatcher, who was assessing damage on CR 15 when Wiregrass Daily News arrived on scene. Multiple trees and debris reported on surrounding properties and scattered areas are also observed.
The National Weather Service has not yet confirmed whether the damage was caused by a tornado. Survey teams are expected to determine the official EF rating if a tornado is in fact confirmed. Here are a few photos reflecting the damage.
