ATLANTA – Communities are cleaning up after severe thunderstorms knocked out power and downed trees across north Georgia on Saturday.
At one point during the storms, thousands of people across metro Atlanta were without power.
Channel 2 Action News viewers sent us photos of fallen trees, mangled power lines and hail as the storms moved through. Several roads were closed as crews worked to clean up damage.
Brookhaven Alert:
Sunland Road will be closed for an indefinite amount of time due to a fallen tree that also took down power lines. Georgia Power has been notified and is responding.

Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Katie Walls said Sunday will be drier and partly cloudy with just a 30% chance of storms in the afternoon.
