Athens assesses damage from Tuesday storms

The Tuesday storms that rumbled through northeast Georgia knocked out power to about 500 homes and businesses in Athens. Rain slicked roads were blamed for a handful of auto accidents, and several Athens streets were flooded.

Athens Mayor Kelly Girtz says his home was among those damaged by flooding.

Several school districts in north Georgia have adjusted their plans for Wednesday morning because of a risk of winter weather.

Channel 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz says that Wednesday morning, parts of the north Georgia mountains could experience below freezing temperatures. For the rest of us, it’ll still be a cold morning.

Several districts have announced they will operate on a two-hour delay on Wednesday morning.
