Oxford Severe Weather Update
Emory University has canceled all sponsored activities scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10, due to the potential for inclement weather because of Hurricane Isaias.
The forecast from the National Weather Service puts metro Atlanta under a threat for heavy rain, flash flooding, strong winds and the potential for tornadoes. Forecasters predict hazardous road conditions, and everyone is encouraged to remain at home for the duration of the storm. High winds could lead to downed trees and the loss of power.
