(Atlanta News First) — The curfew in place for the City of McCaysville following devastating floods has been lifted, according to McCaysville Police Chief Michael Earley. The curfew was issued on Nov. 5, the same day the flood ripped through the town and Fannin County. “Our police officers will continue actively patrolling our neighborhoods, residential areas, and business district to protect the property of those affected by this disaster. Anyone found engaging in criminal activity will be dealt with accordingly,” Earley said. “We also ask everyone to be respectful and considerate of the business owners who have lost their livelihoods and the residents who have lost their homes.
