Atlanta’s mayor has declared a state of emergency as cleanup from Tropical Storm Zeta continues across the Southeast, according to reports.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms followed the example of several governors, including Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and Lousiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, who had issued state of emergency orders ahead of Zeta’s arrival.
Bottoms signed the executive order to speed up recovery efforts, with 357 trees knocked down within Atlanta city limits – at least 60 of which hit power lines, FOX Atlanta reported.
