Passed less than 20 or so miles to the north of me. I'm located just a couple of miles south of the Ga/Fl state line maybe 5 miles in a straight line from Jackie Robinson's birthplace!

They usually pass near here, but I hadn't heard anything about it this time. They often come up from Camilla and head toward Sylvester, cutting a path on one side or the other of me.

12 miles from me between Lutherville and Moorland GA. Took out a house with a tree and tore open the side of another house.

finn,

Are you native to that part of the country? I'm kin to about everybody in the Warm Springs/Shiloh area! The Bullocks who have the resturant in Warm Springs are cousins, though I don't know them well. Have kinfolks in Greenville,too, and our roots go back to before WBTS in the area!

I live in West Georgia and was at work at the library. We spent about an hour in the basement. They came through Carrollton, GA too. Apparently there was quite a bit of damage from hail, etc.

We live in west Central Georgia 26 miles west of Macon. Had tornados hit Milledgeville,Eatonton and Warner Robins. All we got was torrential rain and some wind, no hail....
