Here is the 9:30pm Power Outage update. Please remember to stay inside and stay safe.
The curfew is still in effect until tomorrow morning, and here an update from the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office:
“ORDER TO TERMINATE CURFEW: Sheriff Brown has been out in the county surveying the storm damage since mid-afternoon. After conferring with other Public Safety personnel, utility workers, and road crews, Sheriff Brown has ordered that the curfew with be terminated Tuesday morning 9/12/17 at 6:00 AM. His decision is based on the number of power lines down, trees that are continuing to fall over the roadways and the amount of work to be done throughout the night by utility companies and road crews. This decision is for the safety of our citizens and the crews that will be working throughout the night. Sheriff Brown knows this has been an inconvenience to citizens and he very much appreciates the citizens who have respected this curfew. Sheriff Brown also knows that there are those who have refused to abide by the curfew, will continue to do so, and have displayed their displeasure on social media. His message to those individuals: We will include them in our prayers anyway. Be forewarned that Deputies will be out in force tonight and as we have stated from the beginning, we will take necessary action with those who refuse to cooperate.”
