Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The watch it was issued in

VALDOSTA AND VERNON 501 AM EST TUE MAR 22 2005 ...THERE IS A SLIGHT TO MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS... THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND EASTERN PANHANDLE...AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT. THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY OVER SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND SOUTHWEST GEORGIA FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALL NIGHT OVER THE EASTERN BIG BEND COUNTIES. A WARM FRONT OVER EXTREME SOUTH GEORGIA AND SOUTHEAST ALABAMA THIS MORNING WILL LIFT GRADUALLY NORTHWARD TODAY. THIS WILL ALLOW VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR TO MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. AS LOW LEVEL WINDS INCREASE TODAY AND A JET APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...WIND PROFILES WILL BECOME FAVORABLE FOR THE FORMATION OF SUPERCELLS. IN ADDITION...AN ORGANIZED SQUALL LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRACK FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER EAST ACROSS MUCH OF DIXIE. THE SQUALL LINE WILL ENTER THE PANHANDLE AND SOUTHEAST ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON AND REACH GEORGIA AND THE BIG BEND LATE IN THE DAY OR THIS EVENING. THE MAIN THREAT FOR OUR FLORIDA COUNTIES WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. ANY STORMS THAT MOVE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WILL EXPERIENCE AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR, WHICH WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE BEST CHANCE FOR TORNADOES IS IN THE MODERATE RISK AREA. ANOTHER BAND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA LATER TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS AND THE UPPER JET MOVES NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN BIG BEND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS WILL INCREASE TO 4 TO 6 FEET. HOWEVER...SOME 7 FOOT SEAS ARE POSSIBLE BY TONIGHT. THIS WOULD PROMPT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES. MARINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION TODAY, AND SHOULD POSTPONE THEIR TRIP IF POSSIBLE. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ALL OF THE THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...SETTING UP A PERIOD OF QUIET WEATHER BOTH OVER LAND AND OUT ON THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR POSSIBLE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL COME SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS YET ANOTHER VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AND STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACH FROM THE WEST. .RIP CURRENTS...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY ALONG THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE BEACHES...INCLUDING SAINT GEORGE ISLAND. WIND...WAVE...AND TIDAL CONDITIONS SUPPORT STRONGER AND MORE FREQUENT RIP CURRENTS TODAY. A RIP CURRENT IS A STRONG NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH THROUGH THE SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER. DURING TIMES OF MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK...PERSONS SHOULD ENTER THE WATER ONLY IF THEY ARE EXPERIENCED WITH SWIMMING IN THE SURF. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...WADE SIDEWAYS PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF ITS PULL. TO ESCAPE...RIDE THE CURRENT OUT BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM TO SHORE OUTSIDE THE NARROW CURRENT. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT.. SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO ACTIVATE TODAY...NO LATER THAN THE ISSUANCE OF THE FIRST CONVECTIVE WATCH. SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NECESSARY INTO TONIGHT.
