Channel 2 Action News Luke Hetrick talked to shoppers in North Fulton as they grabbed their essentials.
“I started prepping Tuesday. Started getting things together. Taking it bit by bit. Last-minute stops needed to be made, so I did that,” Dennis Onyugwu said.
Onyugwu said he was in luck to grab eggs just in time at a Walmart in Alpharetta. For him and other shoppers Saturday night, it was the last chance to prep and hunker down before the storm arrived.

“A good time to catch up and play a lot of home games basically. Board games and things like that so a lot of fun time catching up and re-bonding with kids,” said Onyugwu.
No matter what the storm brings, Onyugwu, originally from London, had a parting line.
“That’s why I still love Atlanta. Georgia is actually pretty mild compared to other states. It comes in for a weekend and that’s it. Everything is back to normal again,” he said.
