Hail Storms - How to Protect Yourself and Your Family

On Wednesday, February 18th, fierce thunderstorms swept Georgia with tornadoes, hail and lightning. The National Weather Service confirmed at least nine tornadoes touched down during the storms. In addition to the tornadoes, extremely large hail was reported across the state. Widespread reports of golfball to baseball sized hail were received. Below are a couple of links to some YouTube videos of the hail storms in Coweta and Fayette counties that you might want to check out.
