History
Fire From Below
In November 2007, film crews led by actor/producer Andrew Stevens came to Eustace to film a movie called Fire from Below. The cast included Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Burton Gilliam (Blazing Saddles). Many Eustace locations were used, including a restaurant and gazebo on the town square, and a nearby private lake (dubbed “Lost Lake” in the film). Several Eustace residents were used as extras. According to the script, “Eustace” was retained as the name of the town setting depicted in the scenes shot in Eustace. Fire from Below was released in 2009.
2017 tornado
On April 29, 2017, a very large and destructive EF4 tornado struck the city of Eustace causing major damage. The tornado then tore through West Canton, where more possible EF3/EF4 damage occurred. No deaths were reported in this event, but Canton was devastated only minutes later by another tornado (rated EF3) which killed four people.
2021 Gas leak
On November 12, 2021, a Gas leak that was caused by stress to a gas line started a town evacuation. The gas leak started in the morning, and a smell was noticed by many Eustace residents. In the afternoon, mayor received a message saying it was a leak of a toxic gas. Many residents flew to towns nearby, such as Athens and Mabank. Later in the very early morning, mayor declared Eustace was back to normal.
