They say one person was hospitalized, but did not say how severe that person’s injuries were.

Across metro Atlanta and north Georgia, ice and rain have been bringing down trees, many of them falling onto power lines and knocking out electricity.

At one point on Sunday, more than 100,000 Georgians were without power. But Georgia Power crews say they have restored service to more than 70,000 people.
