The storm warnings came down early. Friday evening we sent you a storm alert: the National Weather Service had put Milton under a High Wind Warning and a Flood Watch from midnight through 8 a.m. today, as what was left of Hurricane Isaias moved north. By Saturday afternoon the weather service had canceled both, the Flood Watch at 12:27 p.m. and the High Wind Warning at 3:59 p.m.
At 9:06 p.m. Saturday, Sawnee EMC’s outage map showed one customer without power, out of 205,555 customers across its service area. As of Saturday night, no one had reported storm damage in Milton to us. If you’re still in the dark, Georgia Power takes outage reports at 1-888-891-0938 or georgiapower.com/storm, and Sawnee EMC at 770-887-2363 or online.
The week ahead. Today brings a 25 percent chance of a shower and a high near 70. Then it’s sunny and warm: highs of 82 Monday, 85 Tuesday and 87 Wednesday, according to the weather service.
