Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeWhile the upper low to the northeast of Georgia, across the mid-Atlantic was weakening, a weak upper trough lingered across this region. This combined with typical July heat and humidity was more than adequate for another afternoon of significant pulse thunderstorms, several of which became severe. The activity lingered into the early morning hours of the 9th. There was even one fatality in Banks county in northeast Georgia when a tree fell on a house. The slow movement and clustering of thunderstorms across north central Georgia in Forsyth, Dawson, and Lumpkin counties prompted flash flood warnings. A minor flash flood event was observed in Dawson county.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe Forsyth County Emergency Management Director reported that lightning strikes at several locations caused electrical transformers to blow and resulted in damage to audio equipment at several homes. However, no structural fires were reported.
