RINGGOLD, Ga. - The storms that battered Georgia arrived with an almost unthinkable ferocity - tossing tractor-trailers off the interstate, flattening entire neighborhoods, ripping out large trees by the roots and reducing a busy thoroughfare of motels and restaurants to rubble. Though Bulloch County received no damage, Portal area citizens spotted a funnel cloud overhead as they stood near Portal Elementary School on Portal-Metter Highway around 2:40 p.m. Tuesday. Although regional tornado watches had been canceled, Bulloch County Public Safety Director Ted Wynn said the funnel cloud was indeed a tornado.
