Ice caused power issues across the northeast Georgia corridor Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
ATLANTA \u2014 Thousands of people are without power Sunday after an ice storm swept across metro Atlanta and northeast Georgia, with more possible impacts due from a freeze expected Sunday night into Monday morning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
