NEWNAN, Ga. — Two years on from one of the strongest tornadoes to hit Georgia in years, the Newnan community is still recovering. An EF-4 struck Coweta County on March 25, 2021, the strongest tornado to hit the state in a decade. This weekend, a commemoration is planned in the form of a Community Day of Service. Meanwhile, some Newnan schools, including Newnan High School, are still on their way to being fully repaired. The Coweta Community Foundation will host the Community Day of Service on Saturday.
