From the Blountstown Fire Department Space Command Division: did you see this is the sky this morning??!!?? No, Voldemort has not sent his Death Eaters to the Blountstown Quidditch Tournament ! It actually a SpaceX Falcon9 Rocket launch making its way from Kennedy Space Center to the International Space Station! The early morning launch allowed the Sun to backlight the exhaust from the rocket, causing this awesome sight!

🚗 LIMIT UNNECESSARY TRAVEL
If you do not have an immediate need to travel, please stay off the roads. This allows first responders, public works personnel, and utility crews to safely assess damage, clear debris, and restore essential services.

⚡ DOWNED POWER LINE SAFETY
• Treat ALL downed power lines as energized.
• Stay away from fallen lines and anything they may be touching.
• Never drive over downed lines or enter flooded areas with electrical hazards.
• Report dangerous conditions to your utility provider or call 911 for immediate emergencies.

🔌 GENERATOR SAFETY
• Operate generators OUTDOORS ONLY, at least 20 feet from doors, windows, and vents.
• NEVER operate generators inside homes, garages, or enclosed areas.
• Use working carbon monoxide detectors.
• Never connect a generator directly to household wiring without a properly installed transfer switch.

📢 Stay informed! Calhoun County Emergency Management will continue coordinating with our local, state, and federal partners as response and recovery efforts continue.
