Power restored to East Atlanta
An equipment failure that knocked out power to roughly 3,500 homes in East Atlanta, Grant Park and Ormewood Park has been repaired.
"Something came in contact with the line," causing a breaker lockout around 9:26 p.m., Georgia Power spokeswoman Christy Ihrag told the AJC.
Power was restored a little more than an hour later.
