Circulation went right over me in Columbus, GA. Tree fell on my roof. Happened to be filming (like a nerd) when it happened.

Wait... you live in Columbus @ctopher5?

From Newnan down to basically Eufala has something about it that tornadoes like, that's for sure.

It's just how the storms come through... Also, we are right next to Alabama, the "Oklahoma of the Deep South".

South Georgia has had its moments too. It can be wild down here lol

Sorry to interrupt but I’m so glad someone else said it before I did. Wind rowing is one of the most misunderstood and most commonly misidentified/misinterpreted contextual indicators. If I got paid every time I saw someone call regular debris scatter wind rowing, I’d be a rich man. The pic you are discussing indeed shows regular debris scatter.

Wind rowing manifests as long, dramatic linear striations of debris, usually partially granulated debris. These long lines and striations are very long and distinct looking, and can stretch up to a mile away from the impacted structure. But perhaps the most important defining characteristic of wind rowing that everyone seems to have forgotten is that within these striations, there tends to be numerous pieces of lumber left oriented end to end, generally facing the direction of the tornado’s movement. Legitimate wind rowing is not very common, but regular debris scatter is. Like I said, many people online confuse regular debris scatter with wind rowing.

I have heard of windrowing, but have not seen very much of it. I need someone to explain and show it to me like I am 5 years old LOL
