Severe storms drench South, take down power lines amid summerlike pattern

Strong to severe storms drenched the South on Tuesday. Most of the activity was centered over Alabama and Georgia, where a squall line developed and even produced a tornado outside the Atlanta metro just after 6:30 p.m. local time.

Altamaha EMC, a power company that services southeastern Georgia, reported that at least 12 power poles were taken down Tuesday evening in Toombs County, around the same time that local emergency managers reported straight-line wind damage.

By Friday, storms will target the Carolinas and the East Coast as we finally see an end to the stormy pattern heading into the weekend, the FOX Forecast Center said.
