Chatham County, except for Tybee Island, is now open for re-entry, but county officials strongly encourage residents to wait until Tuesday to return if possible.

"Conditions will be safer then, and there is a greater probability of having power on if you wait," officials said in a news release.

Tybee Island is inaccessible and will remain closed until further notice, officials said.

Chatham County is under a flood warning until 12:15 a.m. Tuesday. The county is also under a tropical storm warning, a storm surge warning and a tornado watch until 10 p.m.
