Flash flooding and storm damage sweep North Georgia

Cleanup and recovery efforts are underway across North Georgia following severe overnight storms that brought torrential rain, flash flooding, and damaging winds. In Gilmer County, heavy flooding washed out major roads, triggered a water main break, and forced the evacuation of dozens of nursing home residents. Meanwhile, storm damage and power outages were reported across DeKalb and Pickens counties as crews work to restore power and clear debris.
