Atlanta, Georgia – After three consecutive days of severe weather warnings, emergency officials across Georgia are now asking the public for help confirming storm impacts, especially in northeast and central regions where hail and wind damage have been reported.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, several red-shaded warning areas on their latest radar map remain unverified. These zones include counties near Athens, Macon, and along the I-75 and I-20 corridors, where storms downed trees, damaged structures, and knocked out power early Wednesday.
High winds and quarter-size hail were observed overnight, with the most intense cells moving through Baldwin, Putnam, and Clarke counties between midnight and 4 a.m. Residents are urged to submit reports of damage—especially involving downed trees, utility poles, or property loss—by including the location, time, and nature of the impact. These reports help confirm the extent of damage and validate earlier thunderstorm warnings.
Storm activity is expected to ease by late Wednesday, but scattered thunderstorms could redevelop by Thursday afternoon. The NWS says additional advisories may be issued if conditions worsen.
