Georgia tech early action extension- does it apply to me?

Georgia Tech extended the early action to October 18th for the fall 2017 applicants due to Hurricane Matthew. Though I wasn’t affected, can I still submit my application for early action?

The exact message on their website is:
“For students and families impacted by power outages and evacuations due to Hurricane Matthew, our Early Action deadline has been extended to 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday, October 18.”

If you weren’t affected, I don’t think you can utilize that extension.
