Cobb Recovers from Thunderstorm

Crews are working to restore power in Cobb County following Tuesday night's severe thunderstorm. No injuries have been reported, but the city of Acworth has been particularly affected, with damage extending into Wednesday morning.

Acworth Power describes the event as "unusual," with multiple broken poles and fallen trees causing extended outages. Three major outage areas remain in the city as of Wednesday morning.

On Interstate 75's Exit 278 to Allatoona Gateway, Acworth Power is collaborating with Georgia Power and Cobb EMC to repair transmission lines. Logan Road near Highway 92 and Academy Street near McCall Primary School saw large trees fall and snap power line poles, which crews are actively replacing.

Smaller outages are also reported across the city. Countywide, crews have responded to 77 reports of downed trees in the right-of-way, according to a Cobb spokesman.
