I live in Tifton, Georgia. I-75 is a madhouse and is stop-and-go all the way to Atlanta northbound. Southbound has far less traffic but the constant string of utility and support vehicles is impressive. I'm not sure where they're staging. A minor riot broke out in Walmart in Valdosta over bottled water (which I personally find incredibly stupid) and arrests were made. Every hotel in Valdosta and Tifton is booked solid, and hotels have made recommendations for folks to go as far north as Tennessee to find lodging (which I also find ridiculous, there are other options). Shelters on the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will be opening at 6PM today. Classes have been canceled throughout south Georgia until Wednesday. It's only supposed to be a category one to tropical storm by the time it reaches here, but it's still expected to cause a lot of damage. I'm warily eyeing all the weak pecan trees around my house. We'll see.
