Dear Lanier County News Editor:

Thank you, Carol for your reporting in the Lanier County News Special LCN e-edition!

Unfortunately, the Code Red doesn’t reach everyone. A group of Lanier County residents I know got the thunderstorm warnings. At least one person I know well, received a text that indicated the warning was for Lowndes County. That person had to go to his weather app to find out what was going on. Also we had areas that lost cell service overall.  Not everyone uses cell phones or keep them on their hip. If this event had been earlier in the day, people could have been outside away from their phones.  What about visitors to our community?  People at work on their jobs often have to silence their phone.  Code Red should never be the 1st source of warning.

I am very concerned for our community and don’t want the city  to brush this under the rug again.

Again, I thank you!

EDITORS NOTE:  The Lanier County News confirmed that Moody AFB established that there was a tornado in Lanier County on Monday morning about 7:00 a.m., but it never touched down on the ground.  This is when the Code Red warning went out.

    I had a old stump, and 2-3 trees bent by the storm months ago. I also had a downed tree. I called CONINE TREE SURGEON, and they came out. There was three people working. It was 8:30 a.m. I watched as they worked to learn something. One hour later, at 9:30 a.m. they had cut the medium downed tree (with vines), two other vine infested small trees, and took away a very old stump. This and did not leave one shred of sticks or leaves on the ground. RARELY today do you have such a knowledgeable, efficient, friendly TREE REMOVAL service with INTEGRITY as CONINE TREE SURGION. For once (many other services called), I was completely IMPRESSED with this company and their service! Should you need his service, call 229-482-3950
