An estimated 50 to 100 homes were damaged by the storm that struck late Wednesday night, Floyd County Emergency Management Agency Director Scotty Hancock told WSB Radio.
The path of destruction is between a mile and a half and two miles long, Hancock told the Rome News-Tribune. He said he suspects a tornado is to blame for the damage.
