Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	An unusually active northwest flow was present across the eastern U.S. on the east side of a strong subtropical ridge anchored in the southwest U.S. A weak stationary front was draped across west central and central Georgia. A strong disturbance near the Great Lakes was tracking through the flow. A very warm, moist, and unstable atmosphere was in place across Georgia. The strong disturbance moving through the area combined with the unstable atmosphere and the weak stationary front to provide for widespread strong to severe thunderstorms. During the initial development phase of this event, through the afternoon and early evening, the primary form of severe weather was in the form of large hail. As the evening progressed, the convective activity took on an increasingly linear organization producing significant and widespread damaging straight-line winds. The main focus of the activity was across the northeast half of the state. While the activity diminished overnight, it redeveloped on the 16th in two waves. One round of isolated severe thunderstorms affected the west central part of the state during the mid-morning hours, while another round of isolated severe thunderstorms affected the south central and southeast parts of Middle Georgia during the early evening.\|\|This was the second consecutive year where June 15th turned out to be one of the most significant severe weather days of the summer.
Event narrativeevent_narrative	The Forsyth County 911 Center reported that at least three house fires across the southern half of the county were the result of lightning strikes. No further details regarding the extent of damage was provided. There were also several power transformer fires observed as well, although it was not clear whether these were the result of lightning strikes or wind.
