Episode Narrative An extremely progressive and highly kinematic upper flow remained in place across the U.S. A deep, full-latitude negatively tilted trough and associated strong Pacific cold front swept through the eastern U.S. April 4th into April 5th. An intense northeast to southwest oriented squall line of thunderstorms accompanied this front. Wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph were common along this line of thunderstorms as it traversed the entire Peachtree City (WFO FFC), Georgia Weather Forecast county warning area. Nearly every county received at least one severe thunderstorm warning during this event and nearly every county experienced extensive wind damage from these thunderstorms. Two brief EF0 tornadoes also occurred with this event in Gilmer county of north central Georgia. Downed trees on homes and vehicles also caused 7 fatalities during this event, the most in any single weather event since the catastrophic floods of late September 2009. Even several hours after the storms had passed, at least 50,000 residents of north and central Georgia remained without power.
Event Narrative The Merwiether County Emergency Management Director reported widespread thunderstorm wind damage across the county. Dozens of trees and power lines were down across the county. A total of four homes were damaged in the county. Two mobile homes in Greenville were completely moved off their foundations. One of the homes was destroyed, while the other was heavily damaged. No evidence of a tornado was found. The sun room of another home was damaged from a downed tree. The two other homes sustained minor damage. Ten roads across the county were closed from downed trees and power lines.
