Severe weather plowed through central Georgia Saturday afternoon and evening, leaving behind a trail of large hail, some wind damage and forced the cancellation of the Cherry Blossom Festival Street Party.

Viewers sent in numerous pictures to StormTrack Central meteorologists of hail, littering the ground, mimicking a recent snowfall rather than severe weather. Some minor wind damage was also reported in Bibb County, including some power lines down in Macon.

Several tornado warnings were issued through the afternoon. Viewers sent in a picture of a funnel cloud in Cordele in Crisp county. There are also reports of a funnel cloud sighted between the Macon Regional Airport and Robins Air Force Base.

The roof of the Days Inn was blown off along with many downed power lines and billboards around Highway 49 and I-75. Following a survey of the damage by the National Weather Service, it has been determined that it was not a tornado, but rather damaging winds that led to the damage in Byron.

Substantial damage was also reported in Laurens county near the Brewton area. We received reports of several homes destroyed during the time in which a tornado warning was issued. The National Weather Service surveyed the damage and determined that an EF-1 tornado did touch down in the area.
