One man was injured in Clem in Carroll County when a tree fell on his vehicle, impaling him. He was taken to Tanner Medical Center. There's no word on his condition.

The wind that ripped through Carroll County picked up Linda Bryant, 64, and blew her into some nearby woods as she walked from her house to her car. She is listed in serious condition at Tanner Medical Center.

Two high school students were injured in Cobb County when a tree fell on their car.

Three people were trapped in their beds by falling trees.

In northwest Atlanta, a couple, including a pregnant woman, was injured when a tree fell on their house and trapped them in their bed. Atlanta firefighters used airbags to lift the tree and free the victims. Both were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.

A woman was in critical condition after a tree fell on her house on Spring Dr. in DeKalb County and pinned her in her bed. Rescue crews, concered the roof might collapse, had to stablize the house in order to free her.

Georgia Power spokesman Jeff Wilson said that because the storm moved through the area so quickly, it allowed crews to get out and work on getting power restored.

3. I hope all of these people recover completely.

It sounds like some Great Tree Revolt is happening in Georgia, though. They've had enough, but they should be going after clearcutters and such, not innocent people.

4. Half of Florida is without power.

5. Not quite Great Tree Revolt -

The drought conditions are so bad here that the trees/root systems are dying and the slightest thing is all it takes to knock them over now.

6. And oaks are particularly vulnerable because they have shallow root systems to begin with

And Georgia has a lot of oaks.

7. I was stuck driving in that storm yesterday morning.

Never been so scared in my life. The wind was blowing and the rain was coming down horizontally. I couldn't see to even pull over. Finally got to work without wrecking my car. Fortunately, I only had a few miles to drive in that mess.
