Another round of severe weather caused more damage in Northeast Georgia Tuesday. Hall County 911 received multiple calls about downed trees and power lines in the northeast part of the county.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says the storm damaged several homes at the intersection of Mud Creek Road and Old Cornelia Highway.
“Some of those reports indicated that a few homes in the area had received structural damage as a result,” says Casey Ramsey with Hall County Emergency Management.
Personnel from Hall County Fire Services, Hall County Sheriff’s Office, Hall County Road Maintenance, and Hall County Emergency Management responded to the area and found several downed trees involving power lines. 3-4 homes in the area were damaged. Most of the damage was contained to the roofs of the houses, Ramsey says.
One homeowner did request assistance for lodging from the Red Cross for three adults and two children.
Georgia Power crews were sent to restore electricity to the area. Road Maintenance crews cleared the roadway.
The weather damage forced officials to close portions of Mud Creek Road and Old Cornelia Highway.
No injuries were reported.
On Monday, a deadly tornado outbreak in Georgia killed two people in the metro Atlanta area and caused serious damage near Elberton.
