House struck by lightning
On Woodland Avenue, a house caught fire after possibly being struck by a lightning strike. One person and a dog were inside; however, we've learned both made it out safely. In the end, firefighters said 25% of the home was damaged, even as the fire was able to be contained in five minutes.
Person killed by falling tree
Details are limited, but police said that the tree fell on a vehicle at the Intersection of Highway 54/Fayetteville Road and Jenni Lane during a wreck just before 9:50 a.m.
Clayton County Police later released in an update that as the driver of a white four-door sedan was traveling eastbound on the highway a tree fell and hit the car killing the driver on impact. No one else was in the car, according to police.
