Emergency managers in Hall County say there are no reports of damage, where there was a tornado warning Thursday evening.
There were reports of funnel clouds in Butts County, as well as reports of trees down and cars blown around.
First responders said the reports were not as serious as they first though.
"A lot of torrential rain, a lot of wind, but we've dodged the bullet here tonight," Jackson fire Capt. David Dunn said.
Dunn said he knows with the heavy rain there is a chance for more trees to come down because of the saturated soil and more rain on the way.
"We're just prepared for the next storm front to come through here, so we'll be here," he said.
Tornado warnings were also issued for storms that moved through the metro Thursday afternoon.

Many areas in metro Atlanta received several inches of rain in the last 48 hours, including DeKalb receiving nearly 5 inches and Newton County with more than 7 inches.
