What to plan for in Newnan
- Tornadoes (relatively moderate): Tornado-season storms cut power quickly. A battery that switches on by itself, or a portable generator ready to go, covers the first night; sirens and weather radios need power too.
- Hail (relatively moderate): Hail is hard on rooftop solar; ask installers about impact-rated panels and your insurer about coverage.
- Ice storms (relatively moderate): Ice storms bring down lines for days. A standby generator with a transfer switch, or a battery sized for the fridge, furnace blower and well pump, matters more than a small power station.
