Thanks for being there news 26. Jeff did an outstanding job explaining the storm paths and what actually was happening with the rotation. We were able to make an easy decision for our safety. The best weather report ever. Everyone needs to be patient because so many reports are coming in it will take time to report on all of the damage in all of the counties. Chad-Gibson,Ga

New Ellenton is obliterated and no one cares! The biggest church in the town is completely wrecked and there's no telling how much damage the middle school suffered. There are more towns in the CSRA than Augusta. Just because we're small doesn't mean we don't deserve coverage.

Beech Island was damaged badly due to high winds and possible tornado. Highway 278 is inaccessible from the Texico station past the caution light at the intersection of 278 and Pine Log Rd.
