Chattooga County Public Works was busy removing downed trees on Monday evening.  Reports from around the county of downed trees kept workers busy clearing roadways.  Power outages were also reported from various parts of the county. 

North Georgia EMC said that they are aware of the problems and are working to restore power to affected areas.  Georgia Power reported a transformer blown on Atlanta Avenue at Cloudland and also power outages were reported in Summerville. 

The wind and rain has hampered power restoration efforts, but crews are working to get the lights back on for Chattooga County residents.  There was a report earlier of a tree that had blown down on a house in Summerville.  The Summerville Fire Department was dispatched to the scene.
