CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — A metro Atlanta park sustained damage during a recent storm
Channel 2's Berndt Petersen reported debris everywhere at Logan Farm Park in Cherokee County.
Many parts of metro Atlanta saw heavy rain and storms over the weekend.
Petersen said he saw trees down and flooding in the park.
Shirley Brown told Petersen she had a feeling about what she and her dog Scout would find during their daily walk in the park.
"It was bad. I usually don't wake up. She's never bad during a storm. But last night, I had to put her in bed with me," said Brown.
Heavy rain left a mark on Logan farm Park in Acworth. The storm downed a huge tree that fell over one of the paved trails.

"Scattered showers and scattered thunderstorms. All of that. It's very real," said Brown.
A city crew cleared the path, but it will take longer to clear the landscape of a large of amount of debris that was pushed across the park by flooding.
Brown said it all made for a sleepless night.
"The windows were shaking. It got rough. It rained hard and blew a lot," she said.
The water apparently rose so quickly that a few joggers out earlier on Monday morning said they found a few fish on the path. A jogger told Petersen it was an odd sight.
"Just right on the sidewalk. Just a few," April Kilgore said.
We checked and found there was no damage to any of the playground equipment or park facilities.
