‘Destructive’ winter storm: how Georgia is preparing
State officials are sounding the alarm ahead of a potentially “destructive” winter storm this weekend as ice, sleet and snow threaten North Georgia and metro areas. Governor Brian Kemp declared a statewide state of emergency, activated the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency and is staging crews, salt trucks and up to 500 National Guard members to respond.
