What the National Weather Service wrote
Continuation from Bleckley County -- It should be noted that the tornado doesn't appear to be consistently on the ground once it gets east of the bypass east of Cochran and much of the damage east of Cochran was noted as spotty EF0. However, there was enough damage surveyed close enough damage surveyed close enough together to maintain a consistent track to County Road 257. [4/6/22: Tornado #7, County #2/2, EF-0, Bleckley/Dodge, 2022:027].
The wider storm
A multi-day severe weather outbreak initiated with a warm moist air mass situated over Georgia as a strengthening upper level system pushed across central Georgia. With moderate instability in place with increased shear, combined to create numerous severe thunderstorms, taking the form of a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) with several strong supercells ahead of the front. The resulting front stalled across central Georgia and interacted with a weaker shortwave moving up from the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a catalyst for another day of severe weather and flash flooding on April 6th.
Began near Cochran Arpt (32.3787, -83.2610).
