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.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 3, 3:22 PM EST, 1 hour 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 3:22 PM EST, 1 hour 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 322 PM EST Sun Mar 3 2019 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/... Main concerns in short term period are threat for severe convection and tornadoes thru early evening and strong winds overnight and Monday. Several small rotating storms ahead of main line over westcentral and middle GA. Bigger storms to the west in AL. Coverage not great, but risk of tornadoes, damaging wind and hail all present. Favorable environment with analyzed sig tor (STP) values of 3-4 over SE AL. Even with just that level of STP, watching extremely dangerous tornado south of Auburn with over 100kt rotational velocity and large TDS. Will be watching all these storms very closely. Appreciate any and all help to spread the word on potential of these storms! Back edge moving a little slower than forecast but should be clear of westcentral GA by 7PM and SE counties by 10PM. Winds will be strong behind the line will gust to 25mph but not quite strong enough for wind advisory. Will keep monitoring but could see impacts from compromised trees with wet soils. No reports so far. Svr Storm and tornado threat will trump whatever messaging we do for the gusty winds. Round of light rain likely Mon night over middle GA but no impacts. Rest of forecast looks cool but impact free. Please keep your thoughts and prayers that storms will not impact population areas. SNELSON .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Sunday/... Will be seeing an exiting weak system of low pressure as the extended portion begins. With colder temps in place during the morning, came close to adding some flurries in but moisture does not appear to be sufficient enough at this time to support. Certainly worth watching though with subsequent issuances. Remainder of the extended is in excellent shape with only limited changes planned. Should get back into our wet pattern by the end of the week with a couple of systems in store through next weekend. Deese && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1246 PM EST Sun Mar 3 2019/ LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/... While the main focus continues to be with the severe weather potential today, the long term remains fairly quiet with a dry and abnormally cold ridge dominated period from Tuesday thru Thursday. A weak disturbance and increased moisture brings some shower chances back to the area for Friday, then an amplifying trough and attendant frontal system could bring more widespread rain late Saturday into Sunday. Some discrepancies exist on strength and timing this far out in the forecast, though some thunderstorms couldn't be ruled out. Temps will drop to near 15 to 20 degrees below normal for Tues/Wed with highs only in the 40s to low 50s for most areas. The coldest morning will be Wednesday as most areas will have lows in the low to mid 20s with even some teens in the far north. Baker AVIATION... 18Z Update... MVFR conditions expected until line of TSRA with potential gusts to at least 35kts for a short time arrives airports between 19Z- 23Z today. AFter line moves through, winds will become WNW and increase to 10-12kts then become NW and increase to 12-15kts with gusts to 25kts after 02Z. Low MVFR to near IFR cigs likely all night even though precip moves out. Clearing to VFR likely after 15Z Mon. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium confidence on MVFR/IFR timing and TSRA timing. Medium to high confidence for all other elements. SNELSON && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

There is an Enhanced to Slight Risk of strong to severe thunderstorms across much of the area this afternoon and evening along and ahead of an approaching cold front. Possible hazards include isolated to scattered tornadoes, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall/flooding. The greatest chance for severe weather will be across central Georgia and portions of north Georgia, generally along and south of the I-20 to I-85 corridor including the Atlanta metro area. Areas along and south of a Columbus to Macon line will be most susceptible to strong longer lived tornadoes. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday... Abnormally cold temperatures are expected Monday through Wednesday. The coldest morning will be Wednesday with most areas in the low to mid 20s. Such sub freezing temps could be of concern to some exposed vegetation or crops. Some more widespread rainfall could return to the area for Saturday into Sunday and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out, though uncertainty exists with the system this far out in the forecast. Otherwise, no hazardous weather is expected at this time Monday through Saturday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is requested for 11 AM to 9 PM today across all of central Georgia and portions of north Georgia, along and south of the I-20 to I-85 corridor including the Atlanta metro area. Severe weather can also be reported through the web by going to weather.gov/atlanta.
