2020-04-13 · near Doctortown, Wayne, Georgia

Event narrative

Trees were snapped, a home porch roof was damage and a greenhouse was destroyed. A nearby single wide mobile home trailer was blown off of its foundation.

Wider weather episode

A pre-frontal squall line with embedded supercells will moved across interior southeast Georgia during the early morning hours and reached the Suwannee Valley just before daybreak. Very strong shear and instability phased across SE GA during the morning hours where there were supercells, one that produced two tornado touchdowns. The pre-frontal line slowed down and gradually weakened as it moved into NE Florida into the afternoon, but severe storms continued to be possible due to weakening dynamics and remaining surface based instability.
