What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

Hurricane Frances, at one point a category four hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson scale) with sustained winds of 145 mph, reached the east coast of Florida just north of West Palm Beach, Florida early on September 5th. The storm weakened to a Tropical Storm as it continued west-northwest across the Central Florida Peninsula reemerging over the northwest Gulf of Mexico early on September 6th. The storm then took on more of a northwestward movement, making landfall later on the 6th near Saint Marks Florida along the Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast. Continuing north-northwestward from this point, Tropical Storm Frances entered far southwest Georgia near Bainbridge late in the evening on the 6th. The storm continued moving north-northwest through far western Georgia on the 7th to near Atlanta around midnight on the 7th, then to near Chattanooga, Tennessee early on the 8th. By far the most significant problem with Frances for Georgia was strong, sustained winds of 35 to 40 mph with gusts in excess of 50 mph. Most of the high winds were concentrated in a large east-west oriented rain band that moved north across Georgia during the evening of the 6th and the early morning hours of the 7th. It was during this period of time that significant damage occurred across many Central, East Central, and North Central Georgia counties. The strongest winds and most significant damage occurred in the areas east and south of a line from Americus, to Atlanta, to Athens. Many of the counties within this area suffered extensive wind damage. Dozens to hundreds of trees were blown down, also bringing down dozens to hundreds of power lines. Nearly 300,000 people were left without power during the storm, several thousand for several days. Dozens of homes suffered major damage throughout Central and North Central Georgia, with dozens more sustaining minor damage. The most significant damage took place in an area bounded by Macon, Atlanta, Greensboro, Dublin, Americus, and back to Macon. Damages in the millions were observed in several of these counties, including several large pecan orchards which were virtually destroyed. Estimated total damage with Frances $14.9 million to property and $26.5 million to crops (mostly pecan, but some peanut and cotton). Forty-one counties in the Peachtree City forecast area received a disaster declaration from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
