As the sun rose Saturday, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency began a busy morning assessing storm damage all across North Georgia.

“We’ve had reports of downed trees, and power lines,[and] blocked roads.  We expect to see a lot of debris,” GEMA spokeswoman Lisa Janak told WABE News.

While Janak couldn’t confirm if a tornado hit  Paulding County, she did say that part of the metro area sustained the most damage.
