⚠️ WEATHER UPDATE from Spalding County Emergency Management
Griffin and Spalding County are under a Flash Flood Warning until 11:45am today, Saturday, October 10th. Heavy rain is causing flash flooding, with additional rainfall expected. Streets, underpasses, creeks, and low-lying areas may quickly become dangerous.
Close to 3,000 residents experienced power outages overnight, and crews are still restoring power in one area. Thank you to our Electric crew for working through these conditions, and to our Public Works and Public Safety crews who are helping keep our streets clear and safe for those who must travel. As a reminder when traveling:
- Slow down and allow extra distance between vehicles.
- Never drive through flooded streets or around barricades. Turn around, don’t drown.
- Stay away from downed power lines and watch for fallen trees and debris.
- Give crews plenty of room to work safely.
