Ring camera video from a viewer in Coweta County captured the moment when a tall tree fell down in an Arbor Springs subdivision in Newnan.
The video shows the tree toppling over across the street and falling in a yard. There were no reports of injuries from this particular fallen tree.
However, that was not the case in other counties on Thursday. In Spalding County, a man was pinned under a tree at his Griffin home for hours before crews were able to rescue him.
There was also a report of a 5-year-old child killed due to a falling tree in Butts County.
