It began in West Atlanta, moved to the northeast at approximately 50 miles, and ended in the Brookhaven Area. It hit an industrial area, two large apartment complexes, several businesses, and hundreds of “fine homes.” It also hit the Governor’s Mansion located off West Paces Ferry Road. 550 families were reported homeless. The damage was estimated at $56.5 million.
