A potent storm system moved through the state of Georgia this morning, setting up a strong pressure gradient that generated high winds throughout Metro Atlanta Saturday morning.
The winds were strong enough to knock down trees and powerlines throughout the Metro area as well as North Georgia.
And just like that, the wind has arrived! Sounds like someone throwing sticks at my house… #Atlanta #ATLwx #GAwx pic.twitter.com/MSUiQ7PWBe
