What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

Tropical Storm Hanna moved inland near Mobile, Alabama around 5 pm EDT Saturday, September 14, 2002. The remnants of Hanna then moved northeast across central Alabama during the day Saturday and then across north Georgia Saturday evening into Sunday morning. The center of the remnants of Hanna passed near Carrollton, Georgia around 2 AM EDT Sunday morning, then exited the state near Clayton, Georgia Sunday morning, September 15th, around 10 am EDT. While the heaviest rain and wind associated with Hanna did not affect north and central Georgia area, a significant northwest -southeast oriented feeder band associated with Hanna moved across north and central Georgia during the mid and late afternoon Saturday. Wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph and very heavy tropical thunderstorms accompanied the feeder band. Numerous trees and power lines were blown down as the feeder band moved rapidly northeast through the afternoon. Many residents of north Georgia were left without power for at least a few hours. In the Atlanta metropolitan area alone, 48,000 residents were left without power. There were also scattered areas of urban and street flooding as up to 2 inches or more of rain fell in association with the feeder band in a one to two hour period. The heaviest rain fell across the counties north of a line from Atlanta to Athens. Additional rain fell across the region Saturday night and Sunday morning, but was considerably less intense, confined mainly to central Georgia, and was not accompanied with damaging winds. Three day rainfall totals in association with Hanna were in excess of 3 inches across much of northeast, east central, and the southern portions of middle Georgia. Athens reported 3.54 inches on September 14th alone, with a 3-day total of 5.03 inches. The average rainfall amount for north Georgia stations for the month was in excess of 7 inches, and was nearly 5 inches for middle Georgia. These rainfall amounts are approximately 3.5 and 1.5 inches above normal, respectively. Several stations, particularly in north Georgia had in excess of 10 inches of rain during the month, with 12.47 inches at Carrollton, 11.23 inches at Embry, 11.02 inches at Alto, 10.10 inches at Hiawassee, and 10.06 inches at Taylorsville. Despite the heavy rainfall, flooding problems were minimal, since north and central Georgia had been in a 4-year drought.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
600 AM EDT SAT SEP 14 2002

...ISOLATED TORNADOS AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE LATE TODAY AND
   TONIGHT...

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAKENED FORM OF TROPICAL STORM HANNA WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTH
HALF OF GEORGIA TONIGHT.

.PRIMARY HAZARD...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF TORNADO OR

LOCATION WILL BE ALONG AND JUST EAST OF THE STORMS PATH. THE BEST
TIME FOR FLASH FLOODING WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...AS
THE REMNANTS OF HANNA APPROACH AND MOVE ACROSS THE STATE. THE BEST

.DISCUSSION...
THERE IS A RISK OF TORNADOS AND FLASH FLOODING WITH ALMOST ALL
TROPICAL SYSTEMS WHEN THEY MOVE INLAND. HANNA IS NO DIFFERENT. AS
HANNA WEAKENS...THE THREAT FOR TORNADOS WILL DECREASE. HOWEVER...THE
THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE MOST OF THE
NIGHT.

.FOR SPOTTERS...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED...BUT SPOTTERS SHOULD REMAIN
