| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A very deep closed upper low moved through the mid and deep south resulting in a significant severe weather outbreak across the deep south and southeast. Georgia was on the eastern edge of this outbreak because much of north and central Georgia remained in a wedge of cooler air. However, a nose of warm, moist air from central and southern Alabama worked its way into the Columbus area of west central Georgia. Dewpoints in the Columbus area rose into the lower 60s helping to fuel the environment in that region for strong storms. A strong squall line of thunderstorms from central and southern Alabama worked its way into west central Georgia shortly after noon, spawning a tornado in the Fort Benning area. The line of thunderstorms weakened considerably as it moved further east into the cooler, more stable air. Thus, little severe weather was reported further east.|In addition to the severe weather, rainfall of two to four inches across much of north and west Georgia resulted in several street flooding incidents, especially in the Columbus area. Strong winds, particularly at the higher elevations in the north Georgia counties, resulted in a number of trees being blown down. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Sumter County Emergency Management Director reported that lightning struck a tree adjacent to a home, causing the tree to fall on the house. The tree damaged and put a hole in the roof of the house. Minor street flooding from heavy rain was also reported in the city. |
