The first tornado watch associated with the hurricane was issued at 6:00 am EDT on September 25 for south-central Florida and remained in effect for 24 hours.

[1] Over the following three days, a tornado watch was constantly in effect for some part of Florida as Georges slowly moved parallel to the state.

[5] As Georges was not forecast to impact the coastline of Georgia, the National Hurricane Center did not issue any tropical storm watches or warnings; however after weakening to a tropical storm, the system tracked through the state,[6] prompting the National Weather Service to issue tornado watches and tornado Warnings for parts of the region.

[7] Due to the slow motion of the storm, the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC) issued flash flood watches for central and southwestern portions of the state on September 29.

[9] On September 26, Hurricane Georges produced no known tornadoes as it moved away from the Florida coastline and into the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
