(Atlanta News First) — Days after catastrophic and deadly floodwaters ripped through the area, Fannin County Schools is set to hold classes virtually. Teachers were instructed to update their respective classes by 11 a.m. and schools were to make announcements about extracurricular activities by 10 a.m., the school system said. Veterans Day activities at Blue Ridge Elementary and East Fannin Elementary will be rescheduled, the district said. Hard-hit McCaysville has water service again, but it is still not safe to drink. To avoid straining the system, the water is to be used for flushing the toilet only, the city’s police chief said. Residents are not to cook, bath or wash dishes with the water, nor are they to wash their homes or businesses with it.
