Sharing for our neighboring agency

[Update] 11 AM Tuesday: Confidence is growing for a strong overnight system to produce severe weather over Georgia. An Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) has been expanded to include a larger area, including portions of the Atlanta metro, Columbus and Macon. A Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) continues for the remainder of north and central Georgia. Damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, hail up to one inch or more, and frequent lightning will be the primary threats. Stronger storms may also produce locally heavy rain. Although storms could move into northwest Georgia as early as 6 PM, the highest threat will be after 9 PM tonight, continuing overnight through sunrise Wednesday.

Today, we received a phone call that no one wants to get. We lost a friend and brother not just a coworker. We are devastated and heartbroken.

Richie Alford assisted two distressed swimmers in Panama City Beach today that were caught in a rip current. Unfortunately, Richie was not able to make it back to shore. Richie died doing what he loved which was helping others in their time of need. He is a true hero.

Please keep Richie’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks to come.
