UPDATE: Another pic – this time from Gary – of the damage outside of Snap Fitness in Oakhurst.  Multiple cars under trees.  Decatur commissioner Patti Garrett says that word is that these trees will be cut up tomorrow.

Kathy sent in a couple pics of the damage from trees down at the Solarium in Oakhurst.  One more after the jump.

A little late with this, but Kathy just pointed out this CBS Atlanta video and story from noon today that showcases the clean-up of a enormous tree that fell across Fairview Avenue during last night’s storms.

Take note parents.

From the CSD website…

The City of Decatur has experienced problems with electrical power today. Each CSD facility has been operational: teaching children, serving lunch, and running buses. The Fire Chief has indicated to us that several roads are still problems for vehicles. We anticipate that school buses will have a difficult time navigating these roads; thus, students that ride the buses may not be able to reach their homes. If that happens, buses are required to bring the students back to school. You may wish to pick up your child today from school if you anticipate these crossings may impact your child’s trip home: South Candler at Kirk; 800 Block of South Candler; East Ponce at Mountain View.
