Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
The upper trough that brought the moist southwest flow to the region on June 10th moved across the Southeast U.S. on the 11th. Several thunderstorms developed across the state during the afternoon hours, but only one storm became severe with wind damage reported in Laurens County.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 11, 10:00 AM EST, 2 hours 28 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 1100 AM EDT MON JUN 11 2012 .UPDATE... HAVE MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO GRIDS THIS MORNING BASED ON TRENDS AND HIRES MODEL OUTPUT. FIRST...HAVE MADE SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS AND WX. WHILE HIGH POPS STILL LOOK GOOD...NOT QUITE SO SURE THAT WE WILL HAVE WIDESPREAD THUNDER FOR THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE NAM/GFS BOTH DO STILL INCREASE INSTABILITY WITH CAPES BETWEEN 500-1000 J/KG...NEW HIRES MODEL OUTPUT INCLUDING WRF NMM AND HRRR INDICATE THAT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY /AT LEAST WITH LIGHTNING/ WILL BE MINIMAL ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. WE MAY BE GETTING INTO AN UPSTREAM CONVECTION EVENT BASED ON THE LINE OF CONVECTION STRETCHING FROM SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA TOWARDS CSG AND MCN. PW VALUES STILL VERY HIGH /1.8 INCHES AT KFFC 12Z/ SO SHOWERS STILL SEEM LIKELY. THUS HAVE KEPT CATEGORICAL TO LIKELY POPS BUT HAVE REDUCED THUNDER CHANCES TO JUST SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THIS MORNING...INCLUDING MOST OF THE METRO AREA. KEPT NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH. ALONG WITH THAT LINE OF CONVECTION...TEMPS ARE WAY BELOW FORECAST. HAVE MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO HIGH TEMPS AS WITHIN THE AREA OF RAIN CURRENT TEMPS ARE IN THE LOWER 70S. HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPS DOWN THERE TO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S. HAVE LOWERED TEMPS JUST SLIGHTLY ELSEWHERE...BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY IMPACT TO THE ZONES. UPDATED PRODUCTS WILL BE OUT SHORTLY. TDP && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 715 AM EDT MON JUN 11 2012/ PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 AM EDT MON JUN 11 2012/ SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... GFS/NAM SIMILAR WITH BRINGING THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. SHOWERS INCREASING OVER THE AREA AT THIS TIME AND A ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED AS WELL DURING THE DAY. BIG DIFFERENCE WITH FORECAST MUCAPES BETWEEN THE GFS AND NAM BUT EVEN THE NAM HAS ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS. WHILE SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE REASONABLE. WITH THE UPPER TROUGH WEAKENING...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO N GA LATE TUESDAY. THIS SHOULD CAUSE A FLAIR UP OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MOSTLY IN THE AFTERNOON. FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES RUNNING NEAR 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL TODAY AND NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY. FORECAST LOW TEMPERATURES RUNNING NEAR NORMAL TONIGHT. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM TO HIGH. BDL LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... MODELS MAINTAIN SOME SEMBLANCE OF AN UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. HOWEVER...MODELS HINTING AT WEAK RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST THURSDAY/FRIDAY TIME FRAME...BUT AT THE SAME TIME SHOW AN UPPER TROUGH STRENGTHEN ALONG THE EAST COAST AND BUILDING WESTWARD. OVERALL...SHOULD SEE A LESSENING OF PRECIP CHANCES AFTER TUESDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE REMNANTS SETTLING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA WEDNESDAY AND MEANDERING ACROSS THAT AREA INTO FRIDAY. WITH THE FRONT IN THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...CHANCE TO GOOD CHANCE POPS SEEM IN ORDER. WILL TREND TOWARD LOWER POPS REST OF THE PERIOD WITH BEST CHANCES OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA WITH REMNANTS OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY. AS FOR TEMPS...LOOK FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS TO GENERALLY BE ABOVE NORMAL INTO FRIDAY...BUT BACK TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS OVER THE WEEKEND WITH MODELS SHOWING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGING DOWN THE APPALACHIANS AND EASTERLY FLOW SETTING UP OVER THE STATE. 49 HYDROLOGY... FORECAST RAIN AMOUNTS TODAY/TONIGHT RUNNING IN THE 1/4 TO 1 INCH RANGE AND 1/4 TO LESS THAN 1 INCH RANGE FOR TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. THESE AMOUNTS SHOULD BE HANDLED FINE BY AREA LAKES...STREAMS AND CREEKS...UNLESS AN AREA THAT GOT HIT HARD SUNDAY GETS HIT HARD TODAY. NO MORE THAN MINOR FLOODING WOULD BE EXPECTED TO THESE AREAS. BDL AVIATION... 12Z UPDATE... MAIN CONCERN IS POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. COULD START AS EARLY AS 14-15Z AND SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA. IFR-MVFR CEILINGS TO START THEN MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLY LOWER VFR CEILINGS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. POTENTIAL FOR IFR/MVFR VSBYS WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS. S WINDS BECOMING SW UP AROUND 10 KTS WITH SOME LOW END GUSTS. //ATL CONFIDENCE... 12Z UPDATE... HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR WINDS. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE FOR CEILINGS...VSBYS AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
