| 1482 Dresden Drive - Close Call Overnight in Brookhaven, elevated winds and saturated ground proved to be more than some trees could handle. In Ashford Park at 1482 Dresden Drive, in an unbelievably close call, a large Red Oak fell, narrowly missing a house, however the small SUV - just 6 feet away, had its front end crushed. This tree, if it fell just a few feet further to the left, would have crushed the home. A time to be thankful no one was injured and the home is still in tact. It appears Georgia Power had already repaired the power line the tree took out as it fell to the ground. TheBrookhavenPost.com arrived on the scene at 7:00 AM and the connection from the power pole to the home was reconnected. Fallen Trees Take Out Pump Generator - 2 Trees Fall - 2 More Leaning Over Power Lines In the Cambridge Park neighborhood - on Stratfield Dr. (Near the corner of Stratfield and Ashford Dunwoody) - 2 trees fell taking out a generator that powers a large stormwater pump. Dekalb County Department of Watershed Management and Stormwater Management were dispatched to the site around 2 AM according to workers on the scene. The generator that drives the pump will be replaced, however, there will likely be a temporary one installed to get the pump back up and running quickly. |     |
Georgia Power arrived on the scene to inspect two more trees that are leaning over power lines and are a huge concern.
A heron was perched in a tree inspecting the situation.
Crews say the trees, Generator and pump should all be addressed this morning and during the day.
