I know the CPOs and ALPA have sent out emails. Hopefully everyone is okay and reach out for help if needed!

I went to help clean up yesterday and check on some friends. The devastation was indescribable. Reports of it being an F4. Its amazing the only death I've heard of in Georgia was a heart attack. Newnan has a long road ahead to recovery. I'm thankful it was much weaker when it hit my neighborhood. Most homes just have roof damage, trees, and fences down.

There were many blessings that people weren’t hurt. It was also great to see that the police had to turn volunteers away because of the out pouring of support. Hopefully those whose homes were destroyed have been able to get a place to stay.

Missed my house by about 1.5 miles. Lots of damage but also lots of people pitching in to clean up and recover. My power was out for only 20 minutes, internet for about a day and a half. Utilities have been working hard to restore service to all affected.
