The storm moved through early Thursday, leaving trees and powerlines down across the area.

At one point, more than a million people were without power across the state.

Fulton, Cobb, Dawson, Habersham and Lumpkin counties will all remain closed on Friday.

“We are grateful to local crews clearing roads and restoring power, but the storm impact on our schools remains significant. Currently over 40 campuses are without power and internet; and uncertainty remains when utilities will be restored. Friday will also provide time for our staff to address other issues related to storm recovery,” Fulton County schools said in a statement.
