On this date in 2000, tornadoes ripped through southwest Georgia killing 18 people and injuring over 100 more. The town of Camilla, in Mitchell County, was the hardest-hit area. Two twisters sliced a 1.5-mile-wide swath for 10 mi through two subdivisions and four trailer parks. The deadly tornadoes were spawned by severe thunderstorms that moved through the area overnight.
