Power outages continue Tuesday for thousands around metro Atlanta

ATLANTA — Power outages have continued into Tuesday morning for thousands of people around metro Atlanta and north Georgia after storms swept through the region on Monday evening.

The severe weather downed trees and power lines across the area, and in at least one instance a large tree in Oconee County crashed into a family's home.

The good news is that things are expected to be a bit clearer today - but many will nonetheless still be dealing with the outages left behind by Monday's storms.

"Our crews worked throughout the night to restore power to approximately 194K customers. They are still working to restore power to the areas that were heavily affected by the storm. Thank you for your resilience at this time. We will continue work until all customers are back on. Thank you for your patience," Georgia Power posted on X.

Additionally, Lee Middle School and Willis Road Elementary School are closed in Coweta County due to power outages.
