What we know:
One of the hardest-hit areas was Wildwood Road in northeast Atlanta, where a massive tree fell across the residential street, blocking traffic and knocking out electricity to nearby homes. Atlanta police were on the scene early Monday morning, directing drivers around the closure while utility crews worked to clear the tree and restore service.
Power in the area was restored after about an hour, and no injuries were reported.
Scattered outages were also reported elsewhere across the metro area. Click here for Georgia Power's outage map.
The outages came after another round of strong thunderstorms swept through North Georgia Sunday night. The storms followed several days of hot, humid weather that has fueled repeated rounds of heavy rain and gusty winds across the region.
