ATLANTA — Strong wind and rain moved through the metro Atlanta area, and north Georgia Tuesday morning as Tropical Depression Fred left damages across the area from downed trees to power outages.
At 4:45 a.m., a tornado warning was issued for Coweta County until 5:15 a.m. Hours later, in East Newnan on Highway 29 South, a large tree came crashing down and blocked the roadway.
11Alive's Maura Sirianni said the tree brought down power lines when it dropped around 8 a.m. as heavy rain and winds impacted the region.
Georgia Power crews were later on the scene, working to restore electricity in the area.
Tuesday is a day for the county to remain weather aware amid potential flood and tornado warnings. Still, it's certainly nothing like the weather episode Coweta County had back in March when a deadly and destructive tornado ripped through the community.
