DEALING WITH HURRICANE HELENE

Been in tropical storm warning all day. Heavy showers, a few tornado warnings to the south of me. Winds haven’t been strong yet.
Winds to pick up after 7pm. Really dicey from midnight to 7am. High winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rain.
If any of my other fellow board members are in the path of this storm, be safe and God speed.

 

Now a Cat 3 and expecting to be a Cat 4 before it hits the bend in Florida at 8pm tonight.

 

It’s been raining here for about 36 hours. Helene isn’t supposed to arrive until 8am tomorrow. My commute tomorrow might be interesting

 

Already spawning tornadoes in Volusia County.

 

Where you at? Im in Lexington SC. Calling for winds of 55-60 at 5am

 

We have had a few here in the low country of SC

 

You live in Ga?

 

You must be in or around Tennessee? Or NC

 

Atlanta

 

They were saying Atlanta might have hurricane force winds. Be safe my guy.
I have to worry about high winds n tornadoes. With all the rain that has fallen and keeps falling, not going to take much wind to topple trees.

 

Now a Cat 4

 

This is going to end up a Cat 5… millibars keep dropping

 

STOP!!!

been enjoying the blow and sprinkle all day on the gulf coast

Fair Warning ahead:

A Fire Ball will shine on you too

 

You near Fla?

 

Prayer for the safety of all in its paths

 

I live in a double wide trailer… no where to find a safe interior room

 

Looks like its going to be dicey

 

Yeah. That sucks for that.

 

Really?


I was camping canoeing Suwannee River

 

My buddy said they are calling for historic flooding in western NC, been raining there already

this thing turned into a beast. good luck all

 

Looks like we dodged a bullet here. The storm appears to have changed paths overnight and pushed further east. Very mild here at the moment.

 

Wind and rain big time here since 3am… hearing stuff hitting roof…no power since 3:30am

 

We were supposed get the eastern side of the storm. As it stands now the storm is well east of Atlanta. It’s just steady rain and 15-20mph wind gusts

 

We were on the worse possible side… the right side… we have about another hr left.. than go out and take damage assessment

 

Thank you sir… about another hr left
