We all came together for about a mile down my street. All the men in my neighborhood came out with their tractors and chainsaws as soon as the sun came up to clear the road. Wonderful response from the incredible Evans, GA and Augusta community.

I’m from Augusta, the damage is devastating, so many of my friends lost their homes

Where are the city officials? Where were the emergency vehicles? Where were the warnings, updates, useful info about food/water/gas? Crickets!

[triohcs]

I live here. All the gas stations are filled up with people, but they aren’t giving gas. Most of the stores and restaurants are closed, and they are cutting off water. It’s completely devastating. We have no power and air conditioning, and trees have crushed people. Most of the people I know, including me, have fled to safety. Please pray for us

[benpollard]

This is some of the most unhelpful and lackluster reporting I’ve ever witnessed. This showed no scope of what actually occurred here. This is really disappointing.

Hehehe... clever having George set up shop outside the studio by the fallen tree. Masterful job WJBF.

Horrible night I'm thankful to be alive

What about North Augusta? It's completely off the grid right now

So close to the carolinas, the city officials should have been more prepared for this storm.

We're all about southern hospitality. We want everyone to be safe. Look out for one another. But if you aren't at work on time, you're getting a write up or fired.

Hurricanes use to stop shortly after the coastal cities

Come on people remove trees that could land on your house! We bought a new house and took down all trees that could potentially could hit the house...

That's what get when you electric the wrong people in your government. You have been told this. So how do you fix it from here. Think hard.
