What was reported inside it
| Time | Report | Where | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 3, 5:20 PM EDT | Thunderstorm Wind | Towalaga, GA | The Griffin Daily News reported that trees and power lines were blown down in many areas of the county. A number of roads were blocked by fallen trees or tree limbs and in some cases power lines. In addition, Interstate 75 was backed up for miles because of |
NCEI Storm Data entries that began inside the alert's area while it was in force. Before 2003 the local storm report archive is thin, so this is the record of what happened rather than what was phoned in.
