Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe remnants of Tropical Depression Number Five (TD5) were drifting into the region from the southwest around a subtropical ridge located over north Florida. The deep tropical moisture combined with a backdoor cold front across northeast Georgia to generate scattered to numerous afternoon and evening thunderstorms across north and especially northeast Georgia. The thunderstorms were very efficient rain producers and were also accompanied by intense cloud-to-ground lightning. Damaging downburst winds and several lightning incidents were reported with the thunderstorms.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe Cherokee County Emergency Management Director reported that three homes in unincorporated Cherokee county were struck by lightning and sustained minor to moderate damage. The public reported that a 60 foot live oak tree at the Department of Education building was struck by lightning. The lightning strike caused the tree to fall on an adjacent Nissan Xterra, crushing the vehicle.
