The Peach State Sweats (But Hopefully Not Too Much): Where's the Hurricane Headed?
Ah, Georgia. Land of peaches, pecans, and...hurricanes? Well, not exactly. While the Atlantic coast gets its fair share of tropical trouble, Georgia usually escapes the bullseye. But with all the weather reports swirling around, you might be wondering: is a hurricane about to turn our sweet tea sour?
Don't Panic, It's Probably Fine (Probably)
The good news, my fellow Georgians, is there are currently no hurricanes lurking off the coast. That's right, you can put down the duct tape and step away from the pool noodles (though, those pool noodle jousting matches are epic, am I right?).
However, here's the thing about hurricanes: they're fickle fellas. They can change course faster than a politician switches stances. So, staying informed is key.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
