What the National Weather Service wrote

Two large tree limbs were blown down along Highway 41 near the Lowdes and Echols county line. The cost of damage unknown, but it was estimated for Storm Data inclusion.

The wider storm

Strong storms brought small hail and wind gust up to near 50 mph across SE GA in the evening as a cold cool from FL convection raced northward. This forcing combined with a very moist (PWATs near 2 inches) airmass and diurnal instability fueled convection.

Began near Statenville (30.6400, -83.1300).
