Colquitt EMC Is Monitoring the Storm and Preparing for Potential Impacts
My Fellow Members,
Colquitt EMC is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Isaias and preparing for any potential effects on our system. The current forecast keeps the storm west of our service territory; however, portions of our area could still experience wind and rain. While our communities have been fortunate since Hurricane Helene in 2024, we know tropical systems can quickly change direction and intensity. We urge members to begin preparing now in case the storm moves closer to our area.
