THOMASVILLE — Grady County officials are estimating more than $6 million in road damage from Tropical Storm Fay.

County Administrator Rusty Moye said Grady will send Georgia Emergency Management Agency an estimate of $6,756,700: $6 million for the county, $750,000 for the City of Cairo and $6,700 for City of Whigham.

“We are requesting an engineer from DOT come down and talk to us about some of the areas where we’ve had complete failure of culvert piping,” he said.

Roads and Bridges Superintendent Yancey Maxwell was still on the job and unavailable for comment, but Moye said roads listed in Tuesday’s Times-Enterprise remain closed. He did not expect them to re-open today.

“We will be assessing whether or not the rest of the roadways are safe enough for school bus traffic,” Moye said. “We’ve got a lot of people driving down the roads, but they still need to be careful. We’re trying to find a way to fix some sink holes or bogs that have developed in the roadways and see what we can do about our roads in between showers.”

The county signed a proclamation to be sent to GEMA Monday.

Cairo City Manager Chris Addleton said conditions continue to be stable.

Three roads are still closed, but an engineering firm from Tallahassee came up to evaluate the streets, Addleton said.

He said the city is still assessing damages, but expected all residents to have power by Tuesday afternoon.

The electric situation in the county has improved, Donnie Prince, manager of marketing and member services, said.

“At the peak, we had about 10,000 members — close to 70 percent of our customers — were without power,” he said. “This was in Thomas, Grady and Decatur counties. This morning, we are down to less than 400 without power and anticipate having it all back on by the end of the day.”

Prince asked customers who are still without power to continue to be patient.

“Normally, a tornado or hurricane blows through and leaves you alone so you can clean up, but this thing just came and sat on top of us for a while, left and then came back,” he said. “We worked all day Saturday and, when the storm came back, it pretty much ripped everything down again. We’re working as hard as we can and we are very appreciative of our customers who have been extremely understanding and patient.”
