Mandatory evacuations in up to 30 counties have been announced by Georgia’s governor in preparation for the category 5 Hurricane Irma. Georgia hasn’t been hit with a category 3 or higher hurricane since 1989. For those leaving, the evacuation has brought intense traffic jams on the highways, making it difficult to leave. Those electing to stay are preparing the best they can for what very well could be the most devastating hurricane the state has ever seen.

Key Takeaways:

• Hurricane Irma posed a significant threat to the livelihood of people in Florida. Miami saw its Nuclear reactor shut down ahead of the hurricane itself.
• Mandatory evacuations were issued for citizens in Miami and the Florida Keys. Even Georgia seems to be impacted by the onset of a powerful Hurricane Irma.
• Leaders such as governor Rick Scott are working to see these citizens through the storm. That should help people get guidance that they need to complete the evacuation.

“Deal’s order authorizes about 5,000 Georgia National Guard members to be on active duty to help people respond and recover.”
