Hundreds without power after heavy rain moves through metro Atlanta

ATLANTA — Crews are working to restore power to hundreds of Georgia Power customers after heavy rain fell in metro Atlanta. At one point, more than 4,000 people were without power.

The winds from the storm knocked down a tree in front of Einstein's on the corner of Juniper and 12th Streets in Midtown, blocking a busy street. Video captured by Channel 2 Action News showed half of the restaurant's patio covered in debris.

Severe Weather Team 2 said high temperatures pushed into the upper 80s and low 90s Monday afternoon.
