Hurricanes in Georgia?

Find out what's coming up on Canton-Sixes Patch today - or what you might have missed overnight.

1. It's National Hurricane Preparedness Week and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency wants you to pay attention. "Although hurricanes do not regularly make landfall in Georgia, the state’s location along the Atlantic Ocean and its proximity to the Gulf Coast means communities across the state are at risk should a storm fall anywhere along the coast," said Sarah Lippman, a spokeswoman for GEMA’s Ready Georgia campaign. "Storms that form in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico have the potential to bring storm surge, high winds, tornadoes and inland flooding across Georgia."
