…hunker down and hope you all get through this unscathed. The storm is projected to go North straight up through GA. I’m located in far NE GA. and we are under a Topical Storm Warning. 12+ inches of rain and wind gust up to 60-70 mph. Nothing we see often…if ever.
Hope all in the path fair well!!
I’d be getting out of dodge considering the way the Meteorologists are talking about this storm.
I was just reading this story this morning about ocean front homes in NC falling into the ocean in recent years, with a few happening just recently. It sounds like NC will be impacted by Hurricane Helene as well. These homes that have been impacted by climate change already are in a very precarious position. And now with a major hurricane bearing down, I expect we will lose a few more.
I think it’s safe to say that the Insurance industry is sitting on pins and needles with this storm. The predicted storm surge alone is insane, then the wind, then the rain.
Any chance Dave loses his internet and we all get a break from his incessant political and conspiracy posts for a few days? Asking for a friend.
This is going to be a breezy rain storm for me. I may change my position, but I don’t plan on doing anything other than wearing a hat tomorrow when I do some jobs I’ve got in the pipeline.
Lets hope this thing fizzles out. The media likes to whip everyone into a frenzy but everyone should at least get their own situation ordered.
I was at a Ft Lauderdale condo on the ocean today
30 MPH winds. The heavy storms started a few hours later.
This one missed me.
Maybe if it makes an unexpected hard right turn. I hope not.
They typically over hype the storms, we’ll see. Prepare for the worst, pray and hope for the best.
The projected track looks further west than it did yesterday. Right now Tallahassee seems to be smack dab in the middle of the projected path.
I suspect it’ll just be cloudy and breezy for me but the panhandle of FL is going to take a smack.
Got out in the Hot tub a bit ago. Very breezy, no rain.
After a few super strong gust, we retreated back inside 
Pretty much a nothing burger here in Central Florida. As I look out my back towards the east and over the preserve, I can literally see the last band of clouds. So I’m just getting the outer most extent.
My understanding is that it’s now a cat 4 churning in the gulf, so when it runs aground, it’s going to literally tear some shit up.
It’s going to be interesting to watch how they recover from this storm. The State government might have to come up with a new tax revenue stream.
What’s also likely to happen, is that huge rate increases and “whoa-is-me” tales will come form the insurance companies while they blame all their “financial ruin” on this hurricane, even if it ain’t so.
Looks like NC, TN and other spots inland got hit bad too.
I find it amazing that there is almost no media coverage happening in western NC.
One town was wipe out. The entire area is closed. The DOT said to consider all roads in Western NC as closed.
The interstate is closed, it goes on and on. No water, no food, no shelter, no electric, no way out.
Biltmore Village, the area just outside of the Biltmore mansion is essentially destroyed. Ashville had feet of water in the down town area.
Several dams were overtopped, I think one failed, but I don’t know how much of it failed but none of it is good.
This is a real mess.
Many people in those areas have been bludgeoned with anti-climate-change politics that now it is impossible to for them to to trust their own eyes when it violates their core beliefs.
