🌀 HURRICANE ISAIAS 🌀
Jackson County residents should prepare for potentially significant weather impacts this weekend from Hurricane Isaias. While the center of the storm is expected to remain west of Georgia, strong winds, heavy rainfall, and the potential for tornadoes could impact our area as early as Friday night and continuing through early Sunday.
Jackson County is currently under a High Wind Watch and Flood Watch. Wind gusts up to 50 mph could result in downed trees, power outages, and hazardous travel conditions. Heavy rainfall may also lead to localized flash flooding, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
Now is the time to prepare! Secure loose outdoor items, charge electronic devices, prepare for possible power outages, and ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather warnings, especially overnight.
Jackson County EMA is closely monitoring the storm in coordination with the National Weather Service and GEMA/HS. We will continue providing updates as the forecast evolves.
Stay weather-aware, stay prepared, and stay safe!
