Officials have confirmed an EF1 tornado touched down Monday after the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee wreaked havoc across parts of metro Atlanta.  Hundreds of structures were damaged.

Sabrina Glass lives in the Brookshire neighborhood off of I-575 in Cherokee County.

"As you come into the neighborhood, there's just, I wouldn't say total devastation, but significant damage to about half of our neighborhood," said Glass.

Her house was spared, but she describes the damage her neighbors suffered.

"There's several houses that might not be livable for a couple of days, sides of houses are gone, attics are exposed, roofs are gone, gigantic holes in roofs.  There was one house you could tell where it took the chimney off and it took half the back of the house with it," said Glass.

Natalie lives in the nearby Towne Hill South Lake Subdivision.  She heard the storm coming, it got completely dark, so they ran to their basement.

"We have a piece of a Dixie Speedway car in our front lawn," said Natalie.

Dixie Motor Speedway off of Highway 92 suffered moderate damage.

A man named Brent was driving with his son on Highway 20 when the storm started coming.

"Before you know it, within probably two or three minutes, it came through.  My car almost got tossed.  It actually almost picked our car up and tossed it in the air, but fortunately that didn't happen," said Brent.

He says the flag pole at the Chick-fil-A was bent.  Lots of reports of trees and power lines down around the metro area.

In Ball Ground, numerous vehicles are crushed. Also, roofs are off houses and sheds.  Lawsons Home Center on Ball Ground Highway was heavily damaged.
