40+ Trees Brought Down By Hurricane Irma In Johns Creek

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- The city of Johns Creek continues to remind residents to be alert and drive with care if they plan to get out on the roads in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irma moving through Georgia. More than 40 trees were reported down Tuesday morning throughout the city, including a number of low hanging power lines, it said.

While roads are open, drivers should note they contain "debris that need to be fully removed, which will take some some as crews move from one site to the next," Johns Creek said Tuesday.

"Please stay clear of all power lines and report any that are low hanging or on the ground," the city said on its Facebook page.

Johns Creek City Hall remains closed Tuesday, but road crews and public safety personnel are ready to respond to any calls for service. The city also asks residents to call 9-1-1 to report any downed trees or power lines that are in the road (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.
