The public called to report golf ball size hail fell for over ten minutes between 12:27 AM EDT to 12:39 AM EDT.
The wider storm
As had been the case for a few days, the Southeast states remained on the northern periphery of weak upper level ridging on the 15th. Ample moisture and warm temperatures, very summer-like in nature, allowed for enough instability to produce scattered thunderstorms especially across north Georgia. A few of these thunderstorms were able to reach severe levels, with scattered reports of large hail.
Began near Cumming (34.2100, -84.1400).
