Last Night’s Storm Damage/Road Closures
Decatur Metro | April 5, 2011Hooo doggie! That was one heck of a storm last night! Lots of branches down and roads blocked and/or closed.
My wife reported that Drexel Ave was taped off by Decatur PD early this morning. Also Mara wrote in…
Good morning! In case you’re reporting on last night’s apocalypse damage/carnage: as of 7AM today, Scott Circle between Wendan and Brengare was blocked by a downed tree, and, further on into the neighborhood, a power pole was down across Desmond just before Clairmont.
Patch reports that East Howard, Lamont and Winnona Drive were also blocked at one point. Also, another reader points out that according to the CSD website, College Heights is closed today due to a power outage.
Latest from Decaturish
S. Candler is taped off at Midway Road.
Still is as of noon…
I assume there is a sizable tree that is down. Anyone know for sure?
W Pharr Power went out at about 11:30 and was still off when leaving for work this morning at 8:00. Between McCoy and McDonough is where we are.
I am on E Pharr between McDonough and Candler. Power went out this am around 9 and is still out.
Went home at lunch and power is still out as of 1:00.
Coventry, s. of Scott Blvd: running smoothly…!
Dekalb Industrial at Scott Blvd. was closed this morning at 8 am. Not sure of current status.
Anyone heard if College Heights will be open Wednesday?
i live a couple doors down from where the two trees fell on candler, one on a house and one fell on the powerlines all in the same yard. bummer. called georgia power this morning, said they’ll have things running by midnight….please say it ain’t so.
Are the people on Candler ok?
I just walked up the street to check the damage. One of the homeowners was walking to a neighbor’s yard. It seems everyone is okay. The sizable tree’s branches fell almost perfectly around the home. It was damage-free but it coulda been much, much worse. You know it scared the bejesus out of them.
‘wasn’t damage free’
We’re neighbors. Seriously, midnight? How long can food last in an unopened freezer?
the auto message said 12 a.m…i came back yesterday from a vacation…bought a ton of groceries from the farmers market. thank goodness most of it is produce. if you dont open the fridge…24hrs…i think…im going to buy some ice after work and put stuff in a cooler.
