In today’s news:

Severe weather returned to Gordon County on Sunday, marking the latest in a series of storms that have battered the region in recent days. Officials are still assessing the impact, while cleanup continues from last week’s two tornadoes.

The Gordon County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) confirmed that Sunday’s storms caused structural damage, particularly to farm buildings, and led to widespread power outages. Crews have since cleared debris from roadways, and utility tracking sites report that power has been restored to most affected customers.

Gordon EMA Director is working closely with the National Weather Service to determine the precise path and strength of Sunday’s storms. Meanwhile, residents are still awaiting word on potential debris removal assistance from Gordon County following last week’s tornadoes.

Residents are encouraged to report any additional damage to local authorities as recovery efforts continue.
