Severe thunderstorms produced damaging wind and hail over parts of Douglas, Elbert, Lincoln, Logan and Washington counties.  The largest hail occurred in Logan and Washington counties, where it ranged from from 2 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter.  In addition, two tornadoes briefly touched down in Washington County; one produced EF1 damage.  The tornado lifted a garage off its foundation anchoring, and shifted it. The garage door also imploded and caused some roof damage. Other damage on the farm included snapped trees and broken wood power poles. Some lesser damage was observed to some outbuildings.  Lastly, straight-line winds damaged the shingles of a manufactured home and flipped a small barn.
