This is when AccuWeather predicted a peak of severe weather in the Peach State. Activity was expected to be low during this time period.
However, Georgia has been rattled by 25 twisters since the start of January, with multiple tornadoes spawning in a single day. These were caused by thunderstorms or gusty winds.
Tropical Storm Arthur on June 18 produced 10 tornadoes, indirectly leading to the deaths of two people after a weakened tree landed on a car the morning after the storm. Two other people were injured.
Other tornadoes so far this year have injured two people in a flipped mobile home and caused a teenager to be trapped inside a bedroom.
More than 1,000 tornadoes are forecast to surface this year in the U.S.
With more than half of the year gone, these are all the tornadoes to slam Georgia so far this year. (All data and details were provided on Aug. 1 by the National Weather Service.)
