Now that Hurricane Hermine has passed through the area a lot of North Florida and South Georgia is cleaning up and recovering from the storm.

**Update 9/2 7:00pm** Mayor Andrew Gillum has released a statement: Good news first! We have crews working diligently to clear roads and bridges of debris throughout the county, but conditions remain hazardous in many places. With the support of utility agencies from three states, we are increasing our workforce by an additional 60% to assist in getting power restored to customers. Bad news! After further examining the damage in #Tallahassee and #LeonCounty to our power grid system we discovered that the impacts were substantial. We expect that it will take up to a week to get power restored to 90% of our customers. Talquin Electric is anticipating two weeks for full restoration. Now is the time that people will make decisions about whether they will settle in place, or make other arrangements. A full service shelter operated by the #RedCross will remain open at Florida High tonight and for the near future. Tomorrow at 8:00AM we will open a "cooling" shelter at the Downtown Public Library which will remain open all day and available to the public. This was a significant storm event and the impacts have been severe. There are nearly 1,000 government workers and volunteers who are working, literally, around the clock to get our community back up by installing commercial roofing. During this time of recovery we are asking citizens to demonstrate patience and support for their neighbors. Check on the elderly and medically needy, and be sure to call 911 in case of an emergency. For non-emergency questions, transportation assistance, or other requests, please reach out to 211 Big Bend by dialing 211. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.     Thankfully there have been no reported deaths or major injuries The City of Tallahassee is working to get power back to 80% of its residents.
