A series of strong thunderstorms made their way through northeast Georgia Monday afternoon and left some damage in their path.
The strongest storms moved through Lumpkin, White, Banks and northern Hall counties, knocking down some trees and leaving hundreds without power for some time.
The storms blew in just after noon after doing heavy damage to Texas, Mississippi and Alabama over the weekend, including several tornadoes that touched down in those states. However, the storm weakened before arriving to North Georgia, bringing mostly heavy rain and winds.
Lumpkin County Sheriff's Lieutenant Chris Pfrogner said most of their damage was near the Hall County line.
"I don’t know the full extent of the damage at the moment. But we have a lot of trees and power lines down on that side of the County," Pfrogner said. "I am not sure of any property damage yet. Our guys have been busy over there trying to clear the roads."
Pfogner said no injuries have been reported in Lumpkin County. The other affected area counties have also not reported any injuries or deaths.
The downed power lines affected hundreds of people. April Sorrow of Jackson EMC said at the peak, over 700 customers were without power from Lumpkin and northern Hall County to Banks County.
Since then, almost all of the affected customers have had their power restored. You can check how many outages remain and where they are on Jackson EMC's website.
