We can’t often say a storm with hurricane-force winds comes our way, but in late October what was left of Hurricane Zeta tore through East Cobb with a vengeance, downing trees and power lines and shutting down major roads, in some cases for a few days.
The damage prompted the cancellation of schools for a day and many people were also left without power for days.
Some residents reported extensive damage to their homes, including a woman living in a Northeast Cobb neighborhood who said a large tree smashed through and totaled her residence.
No serious injuries were reported in the community, but the storm also uprooted trees at the Mt. Bethel cemetery on Johnson Ferry Road, causing damage to some gravestones.
