I'm sorry to report 2 deaths and 2 injuries in southern Putnam County early this morning. This is the area that was under a tornado warning yesterday. It seems likely the tree was damaged and weakened by the storm and fell several hours later.

Lots of wind damage yesterday, mainly trees down and some power lines. I was tracking tornado warnings through the evening in Meriwether, Upson, and Putnam Counties and some of damage there may have been from a tornado. That will be determined over the next day or two.
This is lofted debris from a radar confirmed tornado west of Macon. This is the same storm that passed through Upson County that I was tracking live on Channel 2. It has strengthened as it's moved east.
