Habersham News will provide updates as additional information becomes available.
The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office reports that more than 50 roads across the county are currently blocked due to storm-related debris, with conditions expected to worsen as the storm continues through the evening.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, additional downed trees, fallen power lines, and other debris are anticipated as rain continues, followed by strong wind gusts and dangerously low temperatures. Officials say these conditions are creating extremely hazardous and icy roadways throughout the county.
Residents are strongly urged to stay home and avoid unnecessary travel, allowing emergency responders and power crews to safely do their jobs. “Road conditions are extremely icy and dangerous at this time,” officials warned.
County road crews are actively working to clear blocked roadways as conditions allow, but officials note that continued weather impacts may slow response efforts.
The Sheriff’s Office also reminds residents not to touch downed trees or power lines under any circumstances. Any downed trees or power lines should be reported immediately by calling 911.
Officials say they are keeping the community in their prayers and urge everyone to remain cautious. “Please stay home and stay safe,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
