Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	This is a continuation of the high/strong wind event which began late on January 31st.\|\|A deep, negatively-tilted upper trough was rotating rapidly through the southeast U.S. from the afternoon of January 31st into the early morning hours of February 1st. A very strong low-level jet of 60-70 mph or greater was noted just above the surface. Surface winds of 45 to 60 mph accompanied this system , particularly as a broad area of showers swept across the area during the evening hours and shortly after midnight. These winds resulted in a number of trees and power lines being blown down, especially across north Georgia counties. In advance of this system during the afternoon of the 31st, strong easterly winds across north Georgia, much of which was located in a cold air wedge, caused additional wind damage.\|\|Damage during the early morning hours of the 1st occurred mainly in Dade, Chattooga, Whitfield, Murray, Towns, Dawson, and Lumpkin counties. Dade, Chattooga, and Murray counties bore the brunt of the damage, where in each county a dozen or more trees and/or power lines were blown down.\|\|In addition, a narrow line of thunderstorms was embedded within a large area of heavy rain accompanying the upper-level system. This was the same line of thunderstorms that caused wind damage in Columbus during the evening of the 31st. This line of thunderstorms caused lightning damage in Coweta and Butts county just before and just after midnight, respectively.
