Had significant damage over here. Possibly a tornado given reports from some neighbors. Numerous large trees down and topped with some in homed. Ended up driving through it too unfortunately. Never have I seen traffic lights go greater than a 90 degree angle in a gust.
Do you have a measurement from your weather station (I assume you have a weather station)?
Power was lost before the station could record it. I do have dashcam footage of driving into the storm but the rain on my side was so intense it was likely rain wrapped. Overall extremely intense and you'll see a lot of trees between exit 16 and setting down road damaged SW to just north of downtown Cumming on 9. Worst of what I saw was around 9/369 through 9/306 and west of that area by a couple miles
The weather station at the Public Safety Complex on Settingdown recorded a 68mph gust. The drive down Pilgrim Mill this morning revealed alot more damage than I saw yesterday. Trees down everywhere, a power pole still up at a 45 degree angle. I didn't get power back until 2:45 this morning.
I would imagine that to be more slightly further west. If road signs and poles got twisted in places in addition to further damage being along there, I'm sure we either hit 70+ or had a tornado. Had a friend report a possible tornado as well in addition to my neighbor seeing rotation. Radar did have a notch in it too so I wouldn't be surprised if it had a brief spin up. My drive to work this morning showed me the lines down and lines with trees on them are nowhere near being resolved. Many laying in roads still unattended.
Its mostly cloudy and 78.8F at my place, so I'm not complaining to much.
Unlikely but perfect timing for my birthday on the 30th! Plus I’ll go surfing that weekend prolly, bring it
