Atlanta storm damage: Retaining wall near Alpharetta Publix crumbles

Severe weather in Atlanta caused bricks and dirt from a retaining wall to spill onto a road in Forsyth County on Wednesday.

The landscape wall is near the entrance to a Publix at Flynn Crossing, at the intersection of McGinnis Ferry Road and Windward Parkway. The debris blocked the roadway.

Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said the wall “deteriorated and became a hazard.”

No one was injured when the wall crumbled and Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said it hadn’t been given a time frame on fixing it yet.

“There is another entrance everyone can use,” they said.
