Are these storms moving East or Northeast now? I have family in Augusta which is exactly east of these storms, and yet it's not included in the tornado watch.

Planet Pink, most are moving Northeast, some of the most severe are moving East (the often turn "right" when they mature, resulting in a more Easterly motion).

The Augusta area may find itself threatened later tonight or toward dawn (by storms currently over southern Alabama and southwest Georgia, assuming the storms are able to hold together as they move East, which is a good possibility given the current conditions across the region.

Additional watches are likely later tonight.
