11 live's Cody Alcorn is live for us tonight in Camden with a round up of all that damage people have seen so far. Cody Jennifer, the warned storm that moved through here earlier this evening, packed winds of 60 MPH and take a look behind me. You can see this huge tree that came down into this home crashing through the roof. Now, this is a video we're going to show you right before the sun went down tonight. You can see the damage to the outside of this duplex. Luckily, the woman who lives here was not hurt but check out the damage inside. Take a look at this picture. This is her bedroom, a huge hole in the roof. Now, right now, they're working in a crane crew out here in the morning to start removing this tree so they can start repairing her roof and she can get back in here sometime in the next week or two. Now, let's head over to Forsyth County where they saw a massive tree come down, blocking traffic here in C we saw a lot of this throughout Metro Atlanta. Spent hours cruz did here trying to saw this thing up so he could get traffic moving once again tonight and check out for county. Not only did we see the high winds, the heavy rain, but we also saw some intense lightning, take a look at these pictures from Tim Huffman looking northeast into midtown. So again, we saw all of it, the high wind, the rain and lightning. Of course, that is not what we wanted to see for the really the kickoff for the Labor Day. And of course, we know a lot of people were traveling. This is a live look right now out at Hartsville Jackson and checking out flat wear right now in real time. Actually, you can see a yellow bar here on their website right now. The reporting departure delays of about 26 minutes and that is growing. So it could be a lot worse. But again, looks like air trafficking back to normal tonight. And I can you to Georgia Power at one point. There were thousands in the dark tonight. That's Georgia Power and even local municipalities in these counties. But the good news tonight, those linemen have been out working through this weather, getting the lights back on. So it's really down just to a few 100 likely around the area. So a small percentage on how many total customers they serve.
