What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

Hurricane Katrina, a horrific category 4 hurricane with winds of 140 mph made landfall just east of New Orleans around 8 am August 29th, continued north-northeast as a hurricane across eastern Mississippi during the day on the 29th, then moved into western and middle Tennessee by early morning on August 30th. While this storm will be most remembered for the extensive devastation that was done to southeast Louisiana, particularly New Orleans, and eastward along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Katrina was a very large and powerful storm with far reaching effects to the east. By mid-afternoon on August 29th, strong spiral bands of showers and thunderstorms made their way into west Georgia. These spiral bands gradually propagated eastward through the state during the evening and overnight hours. Between 4 pm EDT and 1 am EDT, a total of 16 confirmed tornadoes touched down in north and central Georgia. The first tornado struck northern Heard county at 424 pm EDT, while the last tornado struck the town of Helen in the northeast Georgia mountains shortly after midnight at 1230 am EDT. All together there were three F2 tornadoes, three F1 tornadoes, and ten F0 tornadoes within north and central Georgia. These tornadoes resulted in one fatality and six injuries. Dozens of homes and businesses were destroyed with property damage estimated at $12,860,000. The poultry industry was particularly hard hit, especially in west Georgia, where the tornadoes in Heard and Carroll counties destroyed over 300,000 chickens in nearly a dozen chicken houses. Strong thunderstorms with damaging winds were also reported in several counties that did not experience any tornadoes. Overall damage associated with Katrina in north and central Georgia was approximately $14,000,000.Because of the distance of the core of Hurricane Katrina from Georgia, rainfall problems were minor, mostly isolated reports of street flooding. Unlike Tropical Storm Cindy and Hurricane Dennis, which affected the same areas during early July, no flash flooding in north or central Georgia during Katrina. Gusty west winds developed on August 30th as Katrina was dissipating over the Tennessee and Ohio Valley. However, wind gusts were mostly in the 20-30 mph range, which resulted in just isolated incidents of downed trees and power lines throughout the day across north and west Georgia.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY.

...ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...

.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE KATRINA WILL MAKE LANDFALL ALONG THE LOUISIANA GULF COAST
NEAR NEW ORLEANS THIS MORNING. AS KATRINA MOVES NORTH INTO LOUISIANA
AND MISSISSIPPI OUTER SPIRAL BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
ALSO MOVE NORTH THROUGH GEORGIA TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.PRIMARY HAZARD...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PERIODS OF VERY
HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS TO 60 MPH...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE BEST TIME FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DISCUSSION...
MOISTURE IS INCREASING OVER THE AREA WITH KATRINA EXPECTED TO MAKE
LANDFALL ALONG THE LOUISIANA GULF COAST NEAR NEW ORLEANS THIS
MORNING. WHILE GEORGIA ITSELF IS NOT IN THE BEST AREA FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL BASED ON TYPICAL PARAMETERS...THE FORECAST MODELS ARE
HINTING AT A NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED CONVECTIVE FEEDER BAND DEVELOPING
OVER THE AREA TODAY. THIS BAND HAS PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY VALUES
OF 2 TO 2.5 INCHES ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA BEGINNING THIS
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. WITH THE
GROUND ALREADY SATURATED FROM THE RAIN RECEIVED IN JULY AND AUGUST
THERE COULD BE SOME FLOODING ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA.
CURRENTLY A FEW ISOLATED STORMS HAVE BEEN STRONGLY ROTATING IN THE
RAIN BANDS CLOSER TO KATRINAS CENTER. THERE IS ALSO SOME LOW LEVEL
SHEAR IN PLACE AND GIVEN THE PERSISTENT OF THIS STORM THE THREAT FOR
AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS THERE. THE BEST PLACE FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT
SHOULD BE ACROSS WESTERN GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON. WITH DAYTIME
HEATING...INSTABILITY INDICES ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO INCREASE WITH
CAPES IN THE 1000 TO 1500 RANGE AND LIFTED INDICES AROUND MINUS 2 TO
MINUS 3. CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SEVERE DEVELOPMENT OVER EASTERN
GEORGIA AS THE RAIN BANDS WILL SPAN ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS ANTICIPATED TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
DUE TO HURRICANE KATRINA...AREAS OF HEAVY RAINFALL...FLOODING AND
STRONG GUSTY WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED TUESDAY. THERE MAY BE AN ISOLATED
SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT THINGS SHOULD START
CLEARING OUT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER EXPECTED
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
