A massive winter storm moving across the U.S. has coated parts of Georgia in a layer of ice. All that extra weight is dragging down tree limbs and power lines, triggering power outages across portions of the state.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s interactive outage map shows where the most significant numbers of outages are concentrated across the Peach State and which electricity providers have the most customers without power.

Ahead of the storm, Georgia Power and the state’s electric membership cooperatives warned that the dangerous conditions could make restoration efforts difficult and said customers should prepare for the possibility of extended outages.

To report outages and get estimated restoration times, contact your electricity provider directly.
