Melinda Jones is concerned about a power line in DeKalb County.
“I am sending you these pictures I took months ago of a weight bearing segment of a utility pole hanging by one wire from a standing utility pole, right over traffic on LaVista Road in DeKalb County. In the month of October 2021, I made several efforts to report what appears to be a hazardous situation,” Jones wrote.
She said Georgia Power sent a truck to investigate, but the issue remains, and she wants it resolved.
We sent the issue to the utility company and will keep you updated.

Douglas Sabo is tired of flooding issues on a major highway.
“Once again lanes on both north and south bound Ga. 400 are closed due to flooding because of a stopped up drain. In the six years I’ve lived here, virtually every time we get a reasonable amount of rain this area floods and creates a safety issue until the Department of Transportation or the Georgia State Patrol gets on scene to shutdown the lanes that are flooded,” Sabo wrote.
Sabo said he’s not sure if it’s a design issue, an issue with the drainage system or a lack of maintenance by DOT.
We sent the issue to DOT and will let you know when it is addressed.
