Once the tornado got to Piedmont, it claimed the lives of ten people.South of the Piedmont tornado in Goshen, another tornado touched down. This tornado directly hit a schoolhouse, killing the schoolmaster and six children and severely injuring 19 other children.
In the late afternoon, Monroe County in central Georgia was hit with another tornado. Just northwest of Haddock, homes were destroyed, and 12 more lives were lost. This tornado had a 30-mile path of destruction and injured 50 people.
