What’s coming and why you should care
A big winter storm is rolling toward Georgia, promising chilly temps, slick ice and maybe some snow. That combo can knock out power across whole neighborhoods, so it’s time to think ahead — not panic, just be mildly dramatic and prepared.
Greystone’s pre-storm hustle
Greystone Power isn’t twiddling thumbs. Crews met up for a serious safety briefing before the weather hits — think of it as the pre-game pep talk, but with hard hats. Matt Freeman, a supervisor with decades of experience, made it clear the top priority is keeping everyone safe while they work in rough conditions.
Trucks, tools and hair-raising logistics
After the briefing, linemen loaded trucks, checked chains for tires, stacked spare poles and staged extra supplies. The company made sure vehicles were stocked with everything crews might need so they don’t have to play supply-chain bingo in the middle of a blizzard-ish mess. All of these moves are aimed at keeping power flowing for roughly 135,000 customers who could otherwise be left in the cold.
A human message from the crews
The people fixing the lines know outages are stressful. They asked for patience and promised they’ll move as quickly as safety allows. At the same time, crews are thinking about their own families and want every team member to return home at the end of the shift — so safety rules aren’t just corporate talk, they’re personal.
How to be storm-ready (and not that person)
Greystone is asking members to prepare for possible long outages. Do the usual: charge phones, gather flashlights, keep extra blankets and water handy, and know how to use a generator safely if you have one. Stock up on nonperishable snacks and a little patience. If your neighbor is elderly or has medical needs, check in before the weather gets weird.
Final word
Storms can be a pain, but a little preparation and a lot of common sense make a big difference. Greystone’s crews are prepped and ready to hustle around the clock if needed — you handle the blankets and batteries, they’ll handle the wires. Stay warm, stay safe, and maybe practice your snow-dance just in case.
