A deep upper low was moving from the southern plains toward the Ohio Valley and a strong Pacific cold front accompanied the upper low. A narrow line of severe thunderstorms associated with this system tracked across central Georgia during the morning hours and produced wind damage in several central Georgia counties. In Houston County, a tin roof of a church was damaged. In Pulaski County, the metal roof of a home was damaged and a window was blown out of a barn. In addition, multiple trees were blown down and in Bleckley County the straight-line winds were strong enough to blow around a full-size pickup truck. (NWS Atlanta)
