The wedge really took care of that supercell lol. The northern fringes are over me now and it's not looking that severe.

National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
526 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2017

...PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION TORNADO WATCH NORTH AND WEST
OF ALMA THROUGH 8 PM...
...MODERATE TO HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR INLAND
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...
...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT CONTINUES OVERNIGHT FOR NORTHEAST AND
NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA...

.CURRENTLY...
Increasing divergence aloft and significant warm air advection is
fostering the development of widely scattered thunderstorms over
inland southeast Georgia, with some isolated activity developing
in a hot and increasingly unstable air mass over north central
Florida.
.NEAR TERM (This Afternoon through Thursday)...
The potent trough centered over the upper Mississippi Valley will
continue to dig into the southeastern states and will become
negatively tilted overnight, which will sweep a strong cold front
through our region during the predawn and early morning hours.
Much of the stronger forcing will remain situated over the FL
panhandle and points just west of the Altamaha/Ocmulgee River
junction through sunset, with the capping inversion likely keeping
activity developing over coastal northeast FL below severe limits.
Clusters of thunderstorms currently over the Florida panhandle
will continue moving rapidly northeastward and will impact inland
southeast Georgia and perhaps the far western Suwannee Counties
towards or shortly after sunset. The Storm Prediction Center has
placed locations north and west of Alma within a High Risk of
severe thunderstorm development during the evening hours.
Impressive speed shear and increasing instability will result in a
significant damaging wind threat, with model soundings depicting
southwesterly winds strengthening to 70-85 knots in the hail
growth zone by late evening across inland southeast Georgia and
the western Suwannee Valley, which will introduce the threat for
large hail as the capping inversion erodes. This type of
environment may also be favorable for strong, long-track tornadoes
tonight in southeast Georgia.
 
Im in Hoover in the Green Valley area by Hoover Country Club and that huge storm just blew through. We had about 5 minutes of heavy rain/strong winds/small hail. It moved out FAST.
 
Second part of same complex hailing again in southwest Hoover. This time marble to nickel size.
 
The high risk area was too far to the north but there have been a handful of tornado warnings in SW/SE GA, including one that was deemed a Tornado Emergency earlier in the day and one that FFC found fit to slap a PDS on recently (although it was based off of radar which isn't too smart).
 
Northern Georgia could end up without a big severe problem . You can literally watch the radar and watch the storms slowly die once they get about 50 miles inside of Georgia
