Celebrating the Georgia lifestyle GEMC ® Thankful for my EMC M A G A Z I N E After the October floods around Atlanta, half the power went out in my house. I thought I had a critter in the attic because I had heard noise in the ceiling. A call to an electrician revealed the outage was outside my house, not inside. Cobb EMC responded immediately to my plea for help. Six men and three trucks arrived. They discovered a tree had rubbed the insulation from one of the wires going to my meter and expediently rerouted and replaced it. These Cobb EMC workers were fast, friendly and efficient. Kudos to the whole crew and many thanks. —Gail Gupton, Woodstock How to get in touch Letters to the editor: We welcome your letters! Please include your name, address and phone number.
