Severe storms knock-out power to 90K-plus in north Georgia

A strong line of thunderstorms moved into the state around 5:30 this morning, downing trees and knocking out power to over 90-thousand homes.

The storms moved in from Alabama through Carroll County and into the metro Atlanta area. They've moved into counties east of the metro Atlanta area, including the counties of Barrow, Walton, Banks, and Jackson.

A 75-county area in north and central Georgia is under a severe thunderstorm watch until noon today.
