Our area continues to receive high volumes of rainfall, which is predicted to last through the evening into the early morning hours. Large portions of Brooks County are without power. There are multiple reports of localized flooding and impassable roads. Based on the current conditions, and the projected longevity of this event, Brooks County Schools will postpone the first day of school until Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
