As of Saturday afternoon, the vast majority of power outages from Winter Storm Cora in the Northeast Georgia area have been resolved.
As of 2:00 p.m. Saturday, local power companies are cumulatively reporting just over 1,600 homes and businesses in the region still without power. That number is down significantly from the more than 8,500 that were reported late Saturday morning.
Most of the outages have been in the northern portion of Gwinnett County, with the Duluth area being particularly hard hit. Earlier in the day, Dawson, Jackson, Lumpkin and Rabun counties had also reported substantial outage numbers.
Some sunshine and slightly warmer conditions have helped melt ice and slowed the falling of trees and power lines around the region, helping power crews get control of the situation.
If you have an outage, officials advise you to report it to your EMC.
