It’s Fall Break for a lot of our students, which means the parents of the office, Amber and Ethan, are both OOO with their kids!

Normally, when Amber is out, she leaves Ethan in charge of social media. But with BOTH of them gone, it’s finally my time to shine.

I’m slightly competitive. I need to prove to Amber that I’m better at this social media thing than Ethan.

So, do me a favor. Throw this post a like, leave a comment, and help me secure my spot as the new favorite social media manager.

Ethan, if you’re reading this, no hard feelings. 😂

Latest update from Floyd County Emergency Management Agency!

Dangerously high winds were the talk of today's briefing with the National Weather Service. Now is the time to refill your generators as we anticipate multiple trees down with power lines.

Microbursts are our concern because they can sometimes be just as damaging as tornadoes. Don't get caught waiting for the "tornado alert" when there are other alerts being issued.

📲 Download our EMA mobile app (check the link in comments) and be weather aware.
👍 Follow Floyd County E-911 GA for updates on road conditions and hazards.
👀 Watch your surroundings as sustained winds may push over trees in your path.
🌧 Be weather aware.

Please make sure your business is prepared for potential severe weather, and stay up to date by following the Floyd County Emergency Management Agency for the latest updates and safety information.

Our first briefing with National Weather Service was today. Although we are not in the direct path of the hurricane, our position on the eastern side is where the strongest winds, heaviest rains and micro-bursts or tornadoes may occur.

Timing could be late Friday evening moving into Saturday morning. Meteorologists believe this could be an 18 to 24 hour event.

Flood and wind watches are in effect. Winds of 15 to 25 mph should start to pick up Friday afternoon with moderate rain.
