Keep umbrella close. More rain on the way Friday and into weekend

ATLANTA — It's been a rainy day, and it's not slowing down anytime soon.

Storms brought a huge tree down on a family's home in DeKalb County on Thursday.

The family spoke to Channel 2's Alyssa Hyman, saying they heard a loud crash and saw the tree down in their backyard.

"Thank God that it wasn't worse than what it is," Beverly Hall said.

Fortunately, no one was in the room when the tree came down on it. It's still not clear whether it was lightning or wind that brought it down.
