| Episode Narrative | A line of strong to severe thunderstorms swept across North Georgia during the evening of April 6th into the early morning hours of the 7th ahead of a strong cold front. Although instability was somewhat limited, strong low-level and deep layer shear helped to produce numerous reports of large hail and very strong, damaging winds across North Georgia. Despite an overall weakening of the storms as they moved into Central Georgia, a few reports of damaging winds and two brief, weak tornadoes occurred in West Central Georgia. |
| Event Narrative | Georgia State Park officials found damage from a short-lived and weak tornado in the Providence Canyon State Park. Estimated maximum wind speeds of 75 MPH along a path around 300 yards long and 50 yards wide snapped or uprooted numerous trees. This occurred in a very remote area of the park with no vehicle access. No injuries were reported. [04/07/16: Tornado #1, County #1-1, EF0, Stewart, 2016:005]. |
