Warren Cabe, Director

As the remnants of Hurricane Helene approach our area, moderate to heavy rainfall continues to affect Macon County. Rain is expected to continue into tonight and early tomorrow and streams could rise rapidly. Windy conditions may also cause trees to fall in some locations due to saturated soil conditions. Monitor local media outlets for weather information. Do not drive through flooded roadways and be prepared for isolated power outages. Decrease your speed while driving. If you live in flood prone areas be prepared for flooding events. Call 9-1-1 for emergencies but do not call 9-1-1 for road conditions or power outages. Report power outages to your utility provider.
