| Episode Narrative | A strong upper-level trough swept across the region during the day. Across central Georgia, south of a persistent stationary frontal boundary, the atmosphere was able to become moderately unstable. Strong shear and the moderate instability combined to produce a severe thunderstorms with two short-lived tornadoes in central Georgia. |
| Event Narrative | A NWS survey team determined that a tornado occurred in southeastern Telfair county. The EF1 tornado with estimated maximum winds around 87 MPH began south of State Highway 134, west of Hugh McBride Road, and travelled .77 miles east northeast before ending along State Highway 134 east of Hugh McBride Road. The tornado snapped or uprooted numerous softwood and hardwood trees and caused structural damage to two center-pivot irrigation systems. No injuries were reported. The Telfair County 911 center reported a funnel cloud visible with this storm further east as it crossed U.S. Highway 341 north of Lumber City. Local law enforcement stopped traffic on the highway as the funnel cloud moved east, however they reported that there was no indication the circulation ever reached the ground and no damage was reported or found in this area. [11/02/15: Tornado #2, County #1-1, EF1, Telfair, 2015:010]. |
