Cobb County begins recovery efforts after a severe overnight storm. The county's Department of Transportation (DOT) crews worked to clear the roads, responding to 45 reports of trees obstructing traffic. Now, most routes are back to their regular flow, though some areas are under the watchful eye of utility workers, finishing up their repairs. Motorists are advised to keep a vigilant eye on these active work zones, as the dust of disruption has yet to fully settle.
According to Cobb County's latest update, the storms have left their mark beyond the roadways. Five homes have been reported significantly damaged, and their residents are now among the displaced navigating the aftermath. Only a minor injury was reported: an individual who sought medical attention independently after a tree came crashing down in East Cobb County.
Teams are out in the field, assessing the fallout in areas where the storm raged strongest. They are combing through neighborhoods off Bryant Lane, Six Flags Parkway, Discovery Parkway, and Queens Ferry Road, ensuring that residents are accounted for and damages tallied. For those with scars left on their properties, Cobb County Emergency Management has stepped up. They're urging residents to voice the extent of their losses through the county's damage assessment form.
