What the National Weather Service wrote

Trees were blown down with some trees on power lines across the northern portions of Clay county.

The wider storm

WSW flow aloft prevailed as two shortwaves moved through the elongated, positively tilted longwave trough. At the surface, a mostly stationary frontal boundary strengthened. At the same time, increasing southerly low-level flow resulted in greater warm air advection south of the frontal boundary. There were scattered reports of wind damage and hail across the tri-state area. Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches during the day across southwest Georgia also resulted in areal flooding with several roads impacted.

Began near Days Crossroads (31.7300, -85.0400).
