ATLANTA — A number of trees falling across power lines and poles had residents without power on Sunday.
The Norwood Road community in southeast Atlanta, near Dobbs Elementary School, was without power for hours.
Georgia Power told Channel 2 Action News that several trees had fallen and not only knocked down wires but power poles, leading to a multi-hour repair effort that is still underway.

For now, that means the 145 residents impacted didn’t get power back on until Sunday evening at around 9 p.m.
In a second nearby neighborhood on Redford Drive, a similar problem is also keeping residents without power.
However, Georgia Power said the second neighborhood had a less severe situation, with fewer trees and less damage.
