FANNIN COUNTY, GA — Students in Fannin County will attend classes virtually Monday as communities across north Georgia continue recovering from last week’s devastating flooding that washed away homes and other buildings.

Many residents are still dealing with damage to their homes and disruptions to their water supply, particularly in McCaysville, one of the hardest-hit communities.

Although water service has been restored in McCaysville, city officials warn that the water remains unsafe for drinking or washing. Residents are being instructed to use running water only to flush toilets.

Safe drinking water is being distributed at McCaysville City Hall for residents affected by the flooding.

The Salvation Army is also helping provide food to those in need as recovery efforts continue.

Despite the widespread damage, no serious injuries have been reported.

Rebuilding homes and other damaged structures is expected to take months.
