Southeast officials urge preparation for Isaias

As severe weather threatens Alabama and Georgia, officials and local experts are urging residents to stay sheltered when possible and avoid handling storm damage themselves. Montgomery Public Works crews are clearing a fallen tree from Glendale Drive, while Alabama emergency officials advise motorists to use caution around cleanup crews and equipment. A Georgia tree-service owner recommends choosing a safe place away from trees and leaving hazardous cutting work to trained professionals, who will prioritize the most dangerous damage after the storm.
