Sabrina Duncan, who lives in the area, watched the tree fall from her front porch. She says if it fell in the opposite direction, it would have done major damage to her home.
“A few came within inches of other people’s homes, so we’re just really fortunate,” Duncan said.
The cleanup continued in Duncan’s neighborhood four days after heavy rain and strong winds toppled trees across metro Atlanta.
