EMA Asks People Not To Drive

The EMA has asked people not to drive due to the large number of trees down. There is a large power outage in our area, which I suspect is widespread. The weather station at Merciers reports two inches of rain since midnight, wind speed at 8:00 AM 20.3 with a gust to 48.9 mph. It’s misty and wet outside, and you’re going to groan when you see how many leaves came down last night. Last night, county offices announced they would open late this morning.
