Decatur Residents –
The City expects that we will experience some impacts from Hurricane Michael.
According to the National Weather Service, tonight we expect showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Chance of precipitation is 100% with new rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches. Winds will be 15 to 20 mph with gusts as high as 35 mph.
• We advise caution parking under and being around large older trees with root issues or hollows in the trunk.
• There is also a risk of falling branches. The City of Decatur has been diligent in removing the trees and damaged branches that have been identified as a high risk of failure to reduce the impact from such storms. Unfortunately, there is no way to reduce all risk associated with tree failure during a wind event.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact the City Arborist Kay Evanovich at Kay.Evanovich@decaturga.com.
Thankyou so very much
