ATLANTA — Claudette became a tropical depression on Saturday evening after lashing the Gulf Coast.
The storm produced heavy rain in parts of metro Atlanta and downed trees and power lines. At least one tree fell on a car on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, trapping a woman inside.
The storm also spawned several isolated tornadoes in south Georgia.
Claudette is expected to re-intensify into a tropical storm after it moves out of Georgia.

This is why I’ve been keeping rainfall totals in 2-4” range and limiting tornado risk to areas well south of I-20.
