On behalf of the Newton County E911: we ask that you please do not tie up emergency lines with reports of your power being out. This is to be expected. Please notify your power company. We need these lines and operators free for actual emergencies where law, fire, ems are needed, trees and power lines that have fallen, and roadways that are blocked or flooded. Please stay off the roadways unless absolutely necessary and if you must then please drive slow and be aware of your surroundings. Watch for emergency crews that are on the sides of the road working. Winds will only pick up from here. The grounds are already saturated due to all the rain, this will make trees falling a guaranteed along with power lines and more than likely, wrecks. All of our emergency personnels, road and power crews will be out. Please do not put them, yourself, or others in more of harms way. There may be some delays due to the severity of the storm but we will do our best to get you the help that is needed as quickly and SAFELY as possible. Please stay safe and weather aware!
