The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
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.

$$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 May 12, 12:51 PM EDT, 1 hour earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 12, 12:51 PM EDT, 1 hour before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1251 PM EDT Sun May 12 2019 .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... Atmosphere continues to destabilize across southeastern counties ahead of MCS/MCV entering southwest Georgia at this time. Expect convection to increase along and south of Cordele to Dublin to Swainsboro area, in which some storms could become severe with damaging winds the primary threat. SPC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch (#164) for these areas/counties until 9 PM EDT. && DJN.83 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1056 AM EDT Sun May 12 2019/ UPDATE... Frontal boundary across south central Georgia has become the focus for the most significant shower and thunderstorm development this afternoon. Still some light to occasionally moderate shower activity to the north but the far north not seeing nearly as much as what models had indicated. Even though this area could see a line of storms form later with actual front, do not feel they are categorical and have lowered pops quite a bit there. Squall line moving through the Panhandle could also act to limit moisture transport for strong to severe activity initially this afternoon but will need to watch emerging flood threat as cells continue to train over the same areas. Strong to severe activity will be most likely although still only slight, late this afternoon along actual frontal boundary should we destabilize between waves. Deese && .LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/... Cooler and drier conditions will be in place to begin the extended period with the forecast area as nearly zonal flow aloft shifts to northwesterly and a strong surface high builds in over the southeastern CONUS. Temperatures will start out at around 3-6 degrees below climatological normals on Tuesday, with highs in mainly in the 70s and lows in the upper 40s and low 50s. An upper level shortwave traversing the upper level flow will send a weakening cold front southward into northern Georgia by late Wednesday. This front will continue to push southward through the area on Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing isolated showers and thunderstorms to mainly our northern tier. With limited moisture and weak forcing, currently only expecting slight chance to low-end chance PoPs on late Wednesday and Thursday. As this frontal boundary pushes southward out of the area, high pressure will build back in behind it. This high combined with deep northwesterly flow will promote a cooler and drier airmass in place over the forecast area during the latter parts of the week, with high and low temperatures running near climatological averages before gradually warming again next weekend. King AVIATION... 12Z Update... Complicated forecast on tap but should have MVFR to IFR cigs build in for most sites this morning with some possible improvement after 15z, though could stay near MVFR at times through the afternoon until a cold front pushes southward. Periods of -SHRA through today and best chance of TSRA mainly 19-00z for northern sites though could have isolated sooner so have tempo from 15-19z (chance throughout the day in the south. Winds initially south to SW then SW to west this afternoon at 10-12 kts gusting up to 20 kts. Conditions improving from the north after 00z this evening. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Low to medium on precip coverage and overall cigs. High on all else. Baker && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
