Just one more reminder to put together a power outage ready kit before the storm begins! Most of the items you need can already be found at home but if additional supplies are needed, please have those errands done by tonight. No need to panic buy, just get what you and your family need for 3 days.

Since Hurricane Isaias is expected to bring gusty winds and heavy rain to Georgia, it is important to be prepared for power outages. Have a 3-day supply of food and water, a flashlight with extra batteries, a portable phone charger, and a first aid kit ready just in case.

Please continue to monitor forecast updates from your local National Weather Service office and reliable media outlets. For more hurricane preparedness tips, visit https://gema.georgia.gov/hurricanes

In 1955, two Georgia neighbors opened up a restaurant that would change the world.
Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner decided to open a 24-hour, restaurant for their friends and neighbors, focused on people on both sides of the counter. That first restaurant opened the door to create the Waffle House brand that you see today.
