Power restored for thousands after storms, but some still dealing with downed trees
Power is back on for thousands of customers who were left in the dark after Saturday night's storms. But one woman in Cobb County says while she has electricity, she is not able to go to bed with a sense of security. Denise Dubose lives at Concord Crossing Apartments on Woodsong Way in Smyrna. She showed Channel 2 Action News a huge tree that was knocked down during the storm and landed right in front of her patio. Dubose says that worries her in the event of an emergency. 'If there was a fire and the only way out was my patio, I can't get out if my door was blocked,' said Dubose. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Dubose said she called the emergency maintenance line to have it removed, but workers did not show up on Sunday. Meanwhile, about a mile away in Marietta, neighbors are breathing a sigh of relief. Power along Longleaf Drive was out for more than 24 hours. One neighbor told Channel 2's Cory James it was fully restored around 9 p.m. We reached out to management at Concord Crossing Apartments and did not hear back on Sunday.

BWL shares power updates for Friday
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – Line and tree crews were out all day Friday dealing with storm damage and trying to get the power turned back on. Around 10:30 a.m. Friday, the had 18,000 customers without power. Officials said their goal for the day was to restore 10,000 homes, and as of 6 p.m., they had restored 8,000. The day was not over for them, though, and they continued to work. BWL General Manager, Dick Peffley, said there is a lot to be done. 'This is about as bad as it gets, but thankfully, we haven't heard about anybody being hurt, and I hope that remains to be the case,' said Peffley. It was all hands on deck, and that will continue through the weekend. 'We have the crewing here and the material, but there are only so many workers that you can put on a pole or a tree, so it's going to take some time to put it back,' said Peffley. The energy company has secured 20 extra crew to help out, and they are prioritizing circuits that will bring back power to the maximum number of customers. Lansing Mayor Andy Schor was among the officials who shared the latest updates Friday morning. 'I've seen trees on cars, I've seen trees on houses. We are a tree city, and this is sometimes the result,' said Mayor Schor. The mayor said that once the damage is assessed, the city will seek support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 'We are always supportive of other parts of the country that see these crises, and we hope to be supported as well,' said Mayor Schor. BWL officials said that the possibility of more storms Friday night could slow progress, so they are asking people to be patient. 'That's why we are throwing every resource that we have right now,' said Peffley. Peffley reminds people that if their home's power mast has been damaged, BWL cannot restore power until the homeowner gets it fixed and inspected. 'The Board of Water and Light is responsible for the wire to the mast, but we can refer you to electricians that we have faith will do a good job for you,' said Peffley. For the community, city officials said that if it is safe to do so, help out a neighbor. 'You see people pulling stuff off the streets, and all of our neighborhoods are coming together, and this is what we do in Lansing,' Mayor Schor said.
