The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
The cold front that stalled across central Georgia on March 1st began advancing back north as a warm front the morning of March 2nd. A secondary, and stronger, cold front moved across the Tennessee Valley late on Friday, advancing into Georgia Friday evening and into central Georgia early Saturday morning. Very warm and moist air ahead of the cold front provided for sufficient instability to produce widespread strong to severe thunderstorms across the region. One supercell produced two tornadoes in north Georgia - an EF3 in Haralson and Paulding Counties and an EF1 in Cobb County. Large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding also occurred with these storms.
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 Mar 2, 3:05 PM EST, 4 hours earlier.

She sought shelter in a drainage ditch outside her home and was unable to escape when heavy rain caused the water to rise quickly. Her body was found after daybreak Saturday morning, hundreds of yards away in a nearby creek.

The DeKalb County 911 Center reported that several power lines were downed on DeKalb Industrial Way and Lawrenceville Highway.

As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
