Thankfully this is almost completely unpopulated area. It's going to stay well north of the only two towns in that county. If it moves into Crawford County though, Roberta (1,000 people) could be in trouble.

A decent line is forming to my west and at 76/68 on temp and dew point, so never know.

Might be seeing the beginnings of a hook echo NW of Oak Mountain, GA. Not tornado warned.

oh great, I hope that doesn't cause them to go nuts on the next threat

Neither. Georgia. Looks like it may have lifted. Like I said, it's a very rural area.
Edit: the new warning for Crawford and Taylor is PDS and says large and extremely dangerous tornado. Doesn't look like much on radar anymore.

Okay, thanks. It did have one heck of a debris signature though...hopefully trees/vegetation and not pieces of homes.

Tornado warning extended for Carsonville (Ga) area. Peachtree City NWS refers to this as a "large and extremely dangerous tornado" but it is radar indicated. The couplet looks somewhat diffuse on radar but there may be recycling involved at the time of the scan.There is a debris ball associated with this tornado (per buckeye05). Any reports of ground verification as to damage?

My bad, warneagle. I didn't see your last post.

I have no idea where Carsonville is and I grew up about 40 miles from this warning. I'm not sure that's even a real place.

I would imagine it's mostly trees. It would've passed close to the junction of US-80 and US-19, and crossed GA-96, which is a fairly major highway, but very few people actually live out there.

Maybe a new circulation wrapping up back south of US-80 east of Columbus?
Definitely not a lot of houses (like neighborhoods, and house next to next), but there are some there on Google maps.

Yeah, I used to drive through the area a good bit in college (easiest way to get to Auburn from Warner Robins). There are a few farmhouses and barns and such out that way. It certainly missed the most densely populated areas, though (Butler and Reynolds). Let's hope it doesn't recycle as it approaches the Macon metro area.
I noticed that as well. Seems to be weakening for now, but worth watching for sure.

Yeah, that worries me because it would track almost right down GA-96, which would threaten several little towns in a row (Geneva and Junction City are very small, but Butler and Reynolds are a bit larger). My IMBY concern is Fort Valley, where my dad's business is located.
