Fortunately, Glynn County was largely spared by Hurricane Idalia but constant high winds caused power outages across the county.
Public work crews from neighboring towns arrived in Brunswick as the cleanup effort now begins. Numerous trucks were parked at a local hotel where Action News Jax reported from.Starting on Thursday, these crews will be helping to restore power and remove any downed limbs or trees from Glynn County roads.
Tuesday, the storm preps before Idalia made landfall were centered around making sandbags to help protect against localized flooding in Brunswick. But flooding would prove to be the least of the problems as constant high wind gusts caused major issues throughout the area. Along with downed trees, the wind ripped off the roof of Maggie Mae’s in Brunswick. It caused the awning of this business to collapse. The owner of an empty storefront nearby said the force from the wind caused a window to burst onto the sidewalk.
