There were reports of tornadoes in south and southwest Georgia Saturday night, while metro Atlanta was hit with wind and scattered showers.

The National Weather Service office in Tallahassee, Fla., said there were no confirmed reports of any tornadoes in the state of Georgia.

But they said there were two weather events they suspect were tornadoes, one in Worth County and the other in Turner County, both Saturday night.

A third weather event in Early County Saturday evening was reported as a tornado but has not been confirmed. Trees were reported down in all three incidents. There was minor property damage as well.

Meteorologist Kelly Godsey said there were no reports of any injuries.

Worth and Turner counties are in south Georgia. Early County is in southwest Georgia.

Although the Atlanta area has been drenched with rain, the National Weather Service says it may not be enough to put a dent in the state's drought or avoid a record-low year for rainfall.
Meterologist Robert Beasley of the National Weather Service says four-tenths of an inch of rain has fallen in the Atlanta area.

The low amount of rain this year - about 27.66 inches of rain as of Saturday - puts the area on pace to break a record low of 29.14 inches of rainfall set in 1931, according to the National Weather Service.

Beasley says the area likely will get up to 2-1/2 inches of rain before the end of the year.
