Storms topple large trees in Cobb Co. subdivisions

Dozens and dozens of large trees once the pride of subdivisions in Marietta are now toppled onto homes, cars, driveways and streets after Thursday night's strong round of storms.

As the sun rose Friday moing, residents in the Creek Park and Windwood Forest subdivisions emerged from their homes to assess the damage. Many recalled the howling winds and pounding rain that ripped through their neighborhood in the late Thursday and oveight hours – hearing the trees sway in the wind.

Homeowner Monique Snowden said, "I was assessing the trees. I'm not really sure what's left. And, you know, that's one thing about our neighborhood. We love the trees. But, that's the downfall is that when there's strong winds ... stuff like this can happen."

Despite receiving a slew of calls since the storms started Thursday, Cobb County Emergency Management says it has not reports of anyone being injured.

Instead, residents unhurt by the storms are now left with a sizable clean-up in their own front and back yards.

Snowden said, "This is the worst it's ever been. We've never had anything like this in the neighborhood."
