September has always been a month filled with milestones that remind us just how far human determination and innovation can take us. As a community-focused insurance agency here in Waycross, these moments inspire our team to think bigger about how we support the families and small businesses we serve.

Here are three historic achievements we’re celebrating this month:

🫀 September 2, 1952 – The University of Minnesota surgical team performed the first successful open‑heart surgery using hypothermia to safely pause blood flow. A breakthrough that redefined what was medically possible.

🚀 September 5, 1977 – NASA launched Voyager 1, now the most distant human‑made object in space and carrying the Golden Record as a message from Earth to whatever may be out there.

🏗️ September 30, 1935 – Construction began on the Hoover Dam during the Great Depression, becoming one of the most impressive engineering achievements in American history.

Moments like these remind us to stay committed, keep learning, and build solutions that stand the test of time—whether it’s helping protect homes, vehicles, or the local businesses our community depends on.

Which of these September milestones inspires you the most? Share your thoughts with us!

Telematics programs can be a great way to save on auto insurance, but the real value depends on your driving habits and how comfortable you are with monitoring technology. These programs can offer benefits for many drivers, but they’re not always a perfect fit for everyone.

Our team at Herrin & Thrift Insurance Agency wants you to feel confident before you sign up. As you’re thinking it over, consider how often you drive, when you drive, and how you handle sudden stops or quick accelerations.

If you’re unsure whether a telematics policy makes sense for you, reach out to us. We’re here to walk you through your options and help you find the right auto insurance coverage for your needs here in Waycross, GA.

Hurricane season is here, and our team at Herrin & Thrift Insurance Agency wants to help you stay protected before the weather turns. Taking a few minutes now to review your home insurance and related coverages can make a big difference when a storm is on the way.

Here are a few key areas worth checking:

• Hurricane deductibles – Some homeowners policies include a separate deductible specifically for named storms. Make sure you know what triggers it and the amount you’d be responsible for.

• Flood and windstorm coverage – Flood insurance is always separate from a standard homeowners policy, and some wind-related damage can also be excluded depending on the policy. Reviewing any gaps now can help prevent surprises later.

• Claims preparation – Before a storm, document the current condition of your home. Afterward, take photos and videos before starting cleanup, and keep receipts for any repairs you make.

If you’re unsure about your coverage or want help reviewing your policy, our team is here to support you. Feel free to reach out—staying prepared starts with good information.

As families gear up for a new school year here in Waycross, our team at Herrin & Thrift Insurance Agency is sharing a few seasonal reminders to help everyone stay safe on the road.

Back‑to‑school traffic creates some of the biggest shifts in daily driving patterns all year, especially around bus stops, school zones, and neighborhood drop‑off lines. A little extra patience and awareness can make a big difference for kids, parents, and commuters.

We encourage our community to slow down, stay alert, and look out for young pedestrians and cyclists as August approaches. Safer roads benefit all of us, and we’re always here to support you with guidance on auto insurance and personal protection when you need it.

Feel free to pass this along to someone who may find it helpful, and let us know if you have questions about keeping your family or business covered.

August has that funny way of keeping us guessing. One day, it can feel like peak summer, and you’re reaching for your go-to iced drink. Next, a chill in the air makes you believe fall might be right around the corner, making a warm drink sound pretty perfect.

So we want to know, where do you stand as we head into the final stretch of summer?
