MOULTRIE, Ga. — There were no reported injuries in Colquitt County, just much moaning in frustration as power and cable outages prevented football fans from seeing one of the Atlanta Falcons’ most important games in their 51-year history.

The multiday storm system traced a deadly path across the Southeast, killing 20 in all in three states, with 15 of the fatalities in Southwest Georgia. Four died in Mississippi and one in Florida. The heaviest winds seemed to go north and south of Colquitt County, with minimal damage in the middle.

Deaths were reported in Berrien, Brooks, Cook and Dougherty counties. The storm system, which rolled through in three waves over Saturday and Sunday, spawned tornadoes, downed trees and demolished homes. The system also brought heavy lightning and significant rainfall.

It also downed power lines, with crews working in the lulls before the next wave of severe weather arrived.

As of 4 p.m. Monday Colquitt EMC still had about 1,600 customers who were without electric power.

Three homes were damaged by downed trees, said Colquitt County Emergency Management Director Russell Moody. A much larger number had shingles blown off in the strong winds.

Despite rainfall in parts of the county that totaled eight inches over the two days, relatively few of the county’s dirt roads were impacted.

As of mid-afternoon on Monday only two roads remained closed.

“Jonathan Road closed last night, and we got it back open,” Moody said. “Clarke Road was closed last night, and we got it back.”

Workers reopened Suber Road later in the day, leaving only Lonnie Brookard Road closed in the Norman Park area, Moody said.

“It’s now passable,” he said. “It had a lot of trees on it, but we got them cut back.”

Moody cautioned drivers to be cautious. On roads where workers cleared trees they are only cut back to clear the roadway, and there is still wood debris beside them.

“They’re just cut back to the edge of the ditch, so they (drivers) need to be careful,” he said. “Lonnie Brookard Road is under water.”

Colquitt County Schools will reopen on Tuesday after canceling Monday’s classes.

“People still need to be extremely careful,” Moody said. “We still have signs that are down. There is still debris on the side of the roadways.”

Moody said that things could have been much worse.

“We were very lucky compared to our surrounding counties,” he said. “Everybody that’s been involved in this (storm response) has done a great job. Colquitt County can be proud of their people.”
