⚠️🌧️ HURRICANE ISAIAS WEATHER ALERT – LANIER COUNTY, GA 🌧️⚠️

Lanier County Emergency Management is closely monitoring Hurricane Isaias and its potential impacts on our area through the weekend.

At this time, no significant changes are expected to the anticipated impacts on Lanier County. Our primary concerns remain:

🌧 Heavy rainfall: around 2 inches of rain, with higher amounts possible locally.
💦 Localized flooding: A Flood Watch remains in effect.
🌪 Isolated tornadoes: The potential for severe weather and isolated tornadoes increases later today and overnight into Saturday.

🌧️ POTENTIAL IMPACTS INCLUDE:

Heavy rainfall: Rainfall could cause water to accumulate quickly in low-lying areas and locations with poor drainage.

Flash flooding: Creeks, ditches, drainage areas, and flood-prone roads may experience rising water.

Isolated tornadoes: Tropical systems can produce brief tornadoes, sometimes with little warning.

Hazardous travel: Standing water, reduced visibility, and debris may make driving dangerous.

✅ PREPARE NOW:

Secure outdoor furniture, trash cans, and other loose items.

Charge cell phones and backup batteries.

Have flashlights, batteries, drinking water, and essential supplies available.

Avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain.

Never drive through flooded roadways, and stay away from downed power lines.

If a tornado warning is issued, seek shelter immediately in a small interior room on the lowest floor.

📢 IMPORTANT: A Flood Watch has been issued for Lanier County from 2:00 PM Friday through Saturday evening. The National Weather Service warns that significant rainfall and flash flooding are possible. Conditions and rainfall totals may change as the storm progresses.

Lanier County Emergency Management will continue monitoring the storm and sharing updates as needed. Please follow official weather alerts and take precautions to protect your family and property.

Please share this post to help keep our community informed and prepared. Stay safe, Lanier County!
