Hiram, the town this property stands in, in 28 storm reports between 1994 and 2024: 13 hail, 12 thunderstorm wind, 1 funnel cloud, 1 lightning.
The reports record 1 death. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
The Atlanta-Journal/Constitution reported that a 37-year old male was struck and killed by lightning while outside working at the Metromont Materials Concrete Plant.
The public observed golf ball-sized hail in the McClendon Creek subdivision. The only area of the county where WSR-88D radar data suggested that hail of this size would have occurred was near Browning in the far southeast part of the county.
The Paulding County 911 Center reported that over two dozen trees and a number of power lines were down in the south and southeast part of the county from New Georgia to Hiram. Some minor structural damage was also reported. Most of the damage occurred in the Hiram area. Much of the Hiram area was without power at the time as well.
The Paulding County Emergency Management Director reported that several trees were down in the Hiram vicinity. WSR-88D storm-relative velocity data detected strong rotation in the area at the time and a tornado warning was in effect. However, the damage was not confirmed to have been caused by a tornado.
The Paulding county 911 center reported one large 50 foot tree down and several small trees down in the vicinity of the intersection of Georgia Highway 92 and Highway 120C.
The Emergency Manager reported standing water near the intersection of Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway and Highway 92. Radar estimates indicate that 3 to 5 inches of rain occurred over the area, causing the flooding.
