To all our campers out there please keep up with the rain 🌧️ coming
BRMEMC is asking its members to be aware of and begin planning for a hurricane expected to make landfall Friday evening somewhere near Pensacola, FL, and impacting weather across North Georgia and Western North Carolina this weekend. The National Weather Service is saying that at this point the greatest threat to our region is expected to be 40-50 mph winds arriving by Saturday morning, especially on the southern facing mountain ridges. Heavy rainfall is also anticipated, but expected totals are below 2.5 inches (worst case). There is also an increased threat of tornadoes from Saturday and into early Sunday.
We want all of our members to remain safe throughout events like this, and it is why we encourage residents to prepare now. Having some extra food, water, required medications, and other necessities close by is advisable if the event turns out worse than expected.
BRMEMC is standing by and closely watching this event. Our entire team is ready and will respond as necessary this weekend.
