Mentone hurricane guide¶
Mentone is an inland town in DeKalb County, far from the coast, so the main dangers when the remains of a tropical storm move through are heavy rain, flash flooding, and high winds. Mentone sits on Lookout Mountain, so heavy rain and wind from storm remains are the main concerns. The town's website has a police and emergency services page but no hurricane or flood guidance. Use the agencies on the DeKalb County page for emergency management, alerts, and shelters.
