Those weren’t the only trees to fall during the storms that swept through metro Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon. On Ivy Spring Drive in Smyrna, a massive tree came crashing through a home, tearing a hole in the roof and flattening a fence.
Street flooding was also a concern. Near Howell Mill Road on Chattahoochee Avenue, the high waters triggered slowdowns and almost submerged some cars.
Despite the chaos, no injuries were reported.
