A multi-day severe weather outbreak initiated with a warm moist air mass situated over Georgia as a strengthening upper level system pushed across central Georgia. With moderate instability in place with increased shear, combined to create numerous severe thunderstorms, taking the form of a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) with several strong supercells ahead of the front.  The resulting front stalled across central Georgia and interacted with a weaker shortwave moving up from the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a catalyst for another day of severe weather and flash flooding on April 6th.

maximum winds around 90 mph. The tornado appeared
to lift just before the Marion county line. [4/5/22: Tornado #1, County #1/1, EF-1, Chattahoochee, 2022:004].

Tornado in HOUSTON, GEORGIA
From 05-APR-22 14:49:00 to 05-APR-22 14:56:00 (EST-5)
Location: BONAIRE
Tornado F-scale: EF3
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado rapidly intensified as it approached the Bonaire
community of northeast Houston County during the mid afternoon
hours of Tuesday, April 5th. As the tornado went across an open
field near the Old Hawkinsville Road and Cullen Road intersection,
two large high-tension transmission (power) towers were destroyed
and another large concrete power pole was snapped near its base.
Winds between 135 and 155 mph are a typical maximum wind-load
range for these electric towers/poles, supporting the rapidly
developing, now strong (EF2+) tornado.
The tornado crossed the open field and did significant damage to
multiple homes. The first house had large sections of its roof and
second floor removed/torn away, along with numerous large trees
surrounding the property snapped near their bases. Not more than
150 yards away (to the northeast), two additional homes were hit
hard, with one completely destroyed. The damage around these areas
was consistent with EF2 to EF3 rating, with max winds approaching
160 MPH.
Less than 2 minutes later, the powerful tornado hit the south
side of Stathams Landing (neighborhood) where multiple homes had
minor to significant damage, particularly along Fairways Drive up
to Fifth Fairway. The worst of the damage in these locations
occurred at several homes along Fairways Drive were parts of the
roof and second story were destroyed, in addition to numerous
large trees snapped and uprooted around the properties.
Thankfully, the tornado appeared to have weakened slightly here,
but EF1 to low-end EF2 damage still was noted. Beyond Fifth
Fairway (street) is just open field/marsh area before Sandy Run
Creek and the county line. Little additional damage occurred here
and this drastic weakening of the tornado was supported by radar
as well. [4/5/22: Tornado #8, County #1/1, EF-3, Houston, 2022:011].

the ground in an open field on the west side of Hwy 90. The
tornado continued ENE where several homes sustained damage along
Henry Currington Road either from wind damaging the roof or trees
falling onto or near them. The storm continued along Henry
Currington Road where a chicken house was nearly destroyed and a
nearby home sustained minor roof damage and the barn was
completely collapsed. The tornado continued ENE into a largely
uninhabited wooded area where both radar and areal survey confirm
that it weakened and lifted. [4/5/22: Tornado #2, County #1/1, EF-1, Taylor, 2022:005].

A tornado quickly developed along a line of storms moving through the town of Cochran during the evening hours of Wednesday April 6, 2022. The tornado spun up just west of town in a field south of Railroad Ave. The tornado first crossed W. Dykes St where roof damage was noted to several buildings and nearby homes. The tornado continued SE through town crossing 2nd and 3rd streets snapping and uprooting trees which caused some damage to homes before reaching Middle GA State College. The tornado snapped and uprooted trees on campus in addition to tearing a portion of the
roof on one of the campus buildings. The building damage and nearby tree damage at the intersection of 6th Street and College Street was the equivalent of mid range EF1 damage. The tornado continued SE crossing Pine Hill Drive and Willow Dr where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted on or very near homes in that area causing damage to several. The tornado continued east and began to weaken
but still sporadically snapping and uprooting trees along Denny Cooley Rd, Frank Cook Rd, Roddy Road, Cook and W. Chicken Road before lifting near Nicholson Carr Rd and county Road 257. It should be noted that the tornado doesn't appear to be consistently
on the ground once it gets east of the bypass east of Cochran and much of the damage east of Cochran was noted as spotty EF0. However, there was enough damage surveyed close enough damage surveyed close enough together to maintain a consistent track to County Road 257.

Tornado F-scale: EF1
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A high-end EF1 tornado quickly tracked across far eastern Twiggs
into southwest Wilkinson County. At its strongest, along Hwy 96
south of Jeffersonville, the tornado was roughly 1.5 miles south
of the KJGX WSR-88D Radar. In this Hwy 96 area, five homes were
damaged, including a corner section/garage area of one home
collapsed but the roof and exterior walls remained in tact.
Numerous trees around this property were either snapped (some near
the base) or uprooted. Across the street on the west side of Hwy
96, a manufactured home was pushed off its foundation with
significant roof and siding damage. Another home had part of its
roof and chimney collapse with significant loss of its roof
covering removed. As the tornado continued to cycle and track east toward the
Wilkinson County line, it encountered mainly rural areas and open
fields before crossing Hwy 80, about 2.3 miles southeast of
Jeffersonville. Several trees were seen snapped or uprooted with
minor roof/shingle damage to a small one-story home. On the
Wilkinson County side, damage picked back up between Sinclair
Drive and Old Macon Road. This was mainly tree damage with minor
structural damage to a home along with several property fences
blown down. Further northeast, multiple trees were snapped or
uprooted along McCue Road and Knightpond Road, just before turning
into Stuckey Road. Based on radar, additional damage (trees) was
likely along Pleasant Plains Church Road but that road was flooded
at the time of this ground survey. End point was placed just
beyond this road. [4/5/22: Tornado #10, County #1/2, EF-1, Twiggs/Wilkinson, 2022:013].

Location: BYROMVILLE
Tornado F-scale: EF2
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado rapidly developed and intensified near Pinehurst-
Byromville Rd and Nelleville Rd east of Byromville destroying five
large, strongly anchored grain bins. Most of the 4 foot long, 1
foot wide concrete anchors holding the bins in place were ripped
out of the ground and a 6 inch steel beam that was still attached
to another concrete anchor still in the ground was bent to a 20
degree angle. The bins were less than 5 years old and each bolted
to concrete foundations, yet were ripped out of their foundations
and thrown 20 to 30 yards away. Some of the steel paneling of the
bins were thrown 1/2 mile east into trees in a nearby field. A
semi- tractor trailer at this intersection was ripped from its rig
and thrown 30 feet across Nelleville Rd. A University of Georgia
Mesonet weather station also located at this intersection was
damaged but continued to report wind and pressure data (the cup
anemometer did not appear damaged), measuring a maximum gust of
129.3 mph. The intensity of damage decreased as the tornado traveled east-
northeast uprooting or snapping numerous trees and rolling over at
least 6 irrigation towers along the path. Some barns and
outbuilding were also destroyed. Towards the end of the almost 6
mile path, a home on Collins Rd east of Old National Highway
received minor roof damage. The tornado lifted near Collins Rd
