The Georgia Ports Authority has shut down operations in Brunswick and Savannah in anticipation of Hurricane Dorian.

Executive Director Griff Lynch said they hope to re-start operations on Thursday afternoon once Dorian has passed. There are only four days a year when the ports are actually scheduled to be shut down. Labor Day, which was Monday, was one of them.

“Typically this, you know, this week would be a busy just recovering from the closure,” said Lynch.
