Hall County officials monitoring Dorian, say no expected impact for now

By Caleb Hutchins Assistant News Director

Hall County Emergency Management Director Casey Ramsey said Saturday evening that current models for hurricane Dorian are not projecting any impact on Hall County.

He said, however, that officials are keeping an eye on the storm's path.

"The National Weather Service had a briefing today (Saturday) at 12:30 and they provided us with an updated track that was moving it a little more east, taking it off the coast of Florida," Ramsey said. "From that point, it's a little unknown."

Ramsey said the current track would take Dorian into South Carolina and North Carolina, leaving little to no impact on the northern part of Georgia. He said Hall County residents should continue to monitor the forecasts.

"Just maintain good situational awareness, watch your weather sources," Ramsey said. "This storm's still a couple of days away from the potential for a landfall in the Florida area if the track were to move."

Ramsey said anyone wanting the latest emergency information from Hall County officials can sign up for the county's emergency alert system.
