In this episode, we break down the powerful storm system that swept through North Georgia and the metro Atlanta area, leaving widespread damage and disruption in its wake.

Severe thunderstorms and intense rainfall recently moved across North Georgia and metro Atlanta, triggering dangerous flash flooding, road closures, and major interruptions to daily life. Several key roadways and public parks were shut down as water levels rose rapidly, and Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport briefly issued a ground stop due to hazardous conditions.

In Carroll County, officials are investigating the possibility of a tornado after reports of destroyed barns and damaged homes. Across the region, strong winds and falling trees caused extensive power outages, overwhelming utility crews as electrical lines were knocked down in multiple counties.

As the storm system moved out, residents were warned of a dramatic temperature shift, with conditions plunging from record highs to temperatures in the 20s, raising concerns about lingering hazards. In the aftermath, local authorities focused on reopening critical infrastructure while closely monitoring receding floodwaters and assessing property damage.

Extreme weather can change conditions in a matter of hours. As recovery efforts continue, staying informed remains essential. Thank you for listening, and join us next time for the latest updates affecting your community.
