Trees went down, and power outages have been reported across Paulding County and the surrounding areas for dozens of customers this morning.

The good news? So far, no major damage has been reported and the impacts seem limited to a small number of people experiencing power outages this morning following the stormy weather.

Greystone Power is reporting that under 100 customers scattered around the county are without power this morning. The majority of those are in a neighborhood south of the Remus area, and around Old Cartersville Road near the intersection with Hwy. 61. Others are only impacting single residences or a handful at a time scattered around the area southwest of Hiram in Sudie.

Paulding County EMA have not yet responded to a request for additional information about potential damage.

Check back for more developments as they become available.

A new set of speed cameras has police officials hoping that drivers will slow down when they are going through the area of Dallas Elementary School, per a release from the city department on Monday.

The new cameras put up around Dallas Elementary went active on Monday and a 30-day advanced notification period for driver’s traveling through the school zone on weekday mornings when school is in session for the start of the 2026-27 school year will be posted ahead of time as a reminder.

Cameras operating who spot drivers going 10+ miles an hour over the speed limit will be sent tickets via a partnership with RedSpeed to install and operate the new cameras.

The department said it wasn’t meant to be a punitive measure against drivers, but hopes instead it’ll act as a preventative for speeders and get them to slow down and protect students and staff during peak hours when traffic is heavier.

“Driving above the posted speed limit in school zones puts pedestrians, especially young children, at a much greater risk of serious harm,” the release from the department noted.

The cameras will be looking for drivers 1 hour before the start of the school day, an hour after the first bell, then an hour before and an hour after dismissal on weekdays.

Signage is also being installed to warn drivers of cameras and encourage them to slow down before reaching the school district.

Those who are caught speeding will be mailed citations after the release promises that a “thorough review” of any citations before they are sent.
