Tornado Warnings Rock Georgia, Thousands Without Power
Hey everyone, if you’re in Georgia right now, you probably already know—it’s been a rough morning. Severe storms tore through metro Atlanta and west Georgia early Sunday, bringing tornado warnings, heavy rain, and intense winds that have left thousands without power.
Around 4 to 5 a.m., the storms swept across the region, triggering tornado warnings in multiple counties. Some areas were hit with severe thunderstorms, with wind gusts recorded up to 70 mph at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. That kind of wind is enough to bring down trees, damage homes, and, as we’re seeing now, knock out power for a huge number of people.
As of 7:30 a.m., the power outages are widespread. Here’s what we know so far:

- Cobb County: 5,785 customers without power

Georgia EMC is also reporting over 79,000 outages in metro Atlanta alone, with thousands more in north and west Georgia. This is a major disruption, and crews are working to restore power as quickly as possible.
Thankfully, as of now, the tornado warnings have expired in some areas, including parts of South Carolina and northeast Georgia. But just because the warnings are over doesn’t mean we’re in the clear. Strong winds are still a concern, and damage reports are coming in from different parts of the state.
If you’re in an affected area, make sure you stay updated on weather alerts. If you come across any downed power lines, don’t go near them—report them immediately. And if you’re dealing with an outage, be patient with crews working to restore service.
This is a developing situation, and more updates will be coming in as the day goes on. Stay safe, stay informed, and take care of each other.
