City crews are cleaning up the debris on Central Avenue after a wall of the former Holman Supply Company fell before 1 p.m. today. The Moultrie landmark had been considered for demolition to make way for a parking lot as part of Project Connect.

Downed trees have been reported in Moultrie, Doerun and the Ellenton area.

Most of South Georgia, including Colquitt County, is under a tornado watch until 6 p.m.

As of 2:10 p.m., www.weather.com showed a clear area around Moultrie, but rain in Coolidge and Doerun and a line of severe weather west of Funston and north of Norman Park.

The Observer will post more weather information as it becomes available.

Wayne Littles: From Moultrie to the moon shot … and beyond
The year J. Wayne Littles graduated from Moultrie High School — 1957 — Russia launched the world’s first man-made satellite, Sputnik 1. The Space Race was on, and America was losing.
Five years later, with a mechanical engineering degree from Georgia Tech in his hand, Littles joined the competition. Over the next half-century, the Moultrie native helped the United States put a man on the moon, develop a reusable space shuttle and establish a space station.
“I got into the program very early,” Littles recalled. “It was a very exciting time.”
