...Preliminary "Helene" storm surveys expected across parts of
east-central and southeast (middle) Georgia...

Hurricane Helene left a large swath of significant wind damage
across parts of the east-central and southeast (middle) Georgia
where wind gusts up to 100 mph occurred. The National Weather
Service in Peachtree City GA has been in touch with county and
state-level emergency managers, and is working on a plan to get
out and survey as much of this damage as possible. This process
could take a couple of weeks. We have also had to focus many of
our resources this week on the Rockdale County chemical plant
incident. We are also considering the challenges navigating some
of the areas most affected by Helene`s powerful winds, and holding
off for additional clean-up, restoration and recovery occurs.

We greatly appreciate everyone`s support and patience during (and
following) this extremely impactful weather event. We will follow
up with more details on any surveys planned and storm data
information over the next few days.
