Windy night across Central Georgia leaves hundreds without power

A windy start to this first work and school week of the year!

MACON, Ga. — Rain and heavy winds apparently knocked down some power lines around Central Georgia Monday morning.

The winds blasting in with this cold front are leading to a busy morning for road and power crews. Wind gusts up to 25 mph are still possible throughout the day Monday. Drive very carefully, especially in any high profile vehicles. 

Along with reports of trees and debris down on roadways, we're also seeing hundreds of power outages. 

Most just involve a handful of people here and there, but there are a few larger ones and with so many they are adding up.

Just after noon, the Georgia Power outage map showed nearly 37,000 customers without power across Georgia.

That includes nearly 800 in Bibb County, about 300 in Baldwin, and just over 100 in Laurens, Hancock and Jones counties.

Those numbers don't include outages affecting nearly 34,000 EMC members across the state, including many in Central Georgia.
