Hall County Emergency Management Agency Director Casey Ramsey said the storm coming through the area is in the Level 3 category, meaning that Hall is at an “enhanced risk” of numerous severe storms. This includes a few tornadoes, reports of wind damage and hail reaching 1-2 inches in diameter.
Ramsey said Hall could see up to 60 mph winds Thursday morning and a collective 1-2 inches of rain by the time the storms pass.
“What concerns us anytime we have significant wind values is downed trees and power lines,” he said. “We’ll (emergency management) make sure when we have those instances to get the roads clear. As a reminder, stay away from downed power lines.”
Ramsey noted that Hall has 22 weather sirens in the county. If there is a tornado warning in an area with a siren, it will sound an alarm.
Ramsey reminded residents that the sirens are intended to alert people outside. If someone is inside, they might not be able to hear one go off. He advises Hall residents to keep a weather alert at the ready on their phones.
