| Episode Narrative | Persistent, deep and strong southwesterly upper-level flow across the eastern U.S. resulted in an extremely moist and moderately unstable atmosphere over North and Central Georgia. A stalled frontal boundary and a series of short waves in the southwesterly upper flow resulted in multiple rounds of heavy rain, and strong to severe thunderstorms, with widespread flash flooding, damaging thunderstorms winds, hail and an isolated tornado. |
| Event Narrative | An NWS storm survey team confirmed an EF-0 tornado, with maximum wind speeds of 80 MPH and a maximum path width of 180 yards, touched down just west of Mt. Carmel Road and traveled .2 miles east northeast, crossing Mt. Carmel Road before lifting. Several trees were snapped or uprooted on either side of Mt. Carmel Road and a small shed was destroyed. [12/24/15: Tornado #1, County #1-1, EF0, Upson, [2015:014]. |
