Hurricane Helene

[BKHusky]

Unfortunately Helene is set to become a monster in the next 36-48 hours. Any of you along the coast or southern GA need to be ready.

Also probably going to be some bad flooding in Georgia, particularly in the mountains of GA/NC/TN. Could be 8-12” (with locally higher amounts) of rain fall in about 36 hours.

On a much lesser note, Bama/UGA looks to be largely unaffected on its current course.

Wind and rain here in Atlanta. With our fragile local power grid I’m expecting to be out of power 12-24 hrs.

When I lived in a newer part of town these things didn’t phase me. Not where I live now. Lol

Our new vacation house in Port Charlotte supposed to get about 5’ storm surge and 65 MPH winds…. Not too bad - I just hope it doesn’t require another inspection before closing

Here in Athens they are talking anywhere from 6-10” of rain in a 12 hour period with 30-40 mph sustained winds and possible tornadoes. Local power company already said to prepare for power outages. We need the rain, but not that bad. That much rain in such a short period of time is only going to runoff into the creeks and rivers

Yikes

It looks like it might visit East Tennessee as well

If someone farts in my area, my power goes out.

It must go out a lot near your house

I hope all of you in harms way are safe!

Where in Atlanta? We rarely seem to have any power issues in Dunwoody… now, Young Harris, all the time, but we get a lot of 50-60 mph wind gusts throughout the year…

I only lose power at my house if it rains...or if the wind blows...or sometimes even if it doesn't.

What about when the phone rings? Do the candles go out?

Crazy stuff, that’s how DirecTV operates too.

It's ridiculous enough that I have a whole house generator that cuts on automatically when the power goes out.

They do some kind of grid maintenance on Tuesday and Wednesday. I usually get a power blip weekly on one of those days. Happened when I lived in Alabama and Georgia.

Local EMCs rock. They are rock solid in comparison.

Say a prayer for the cotton farmers in Ga. wind will remove lots of almost mature cotton from the stalks .

I love what you do during hurricanes!😍

This is the image I have of Husky when there’s a hurricane (and I’m stoned.)

Up to 20' of storm surge near Cedar Key. That's fvcked up

Applachicola is going to get decimated again too. There go my oysters.

Katrina was almost 30'. That's the highest I have ever heard of. This will be #2 if it meets high end forecasts.

Just dropped directv for Youtubetv when the whole Disney/abc/espn shit went down. Highly recommend it. AT&T destroys everything it gets its hands on. My dad worked there for 43 years and his family discount is only reason we still use their cellular service…

Just when the oyster beds were about ready again to open back up for harvest

Stolen

 

[BKHusky]

Only possible saving grace so far is she hasn't gotten fully organized yet, so she hasn't blown up into a Cat 4/5 monster because of that. Still having some dry air and unorganized eyewall issues. Hopefully those continue and she doesn't reach her upper potential.

Regardless of exact strength at landfall, with her size she's still going to cause a lot of flooding issues and inland wind issues.

Same. Dropped direct TV stream for YTTV.

Dry air has been overcome now and a distinct eye has formed.

Yeah for the first time she has wrapped deep convection all the way around her center. If she doesn’t ingest anymore dry air I’m afraid she’s going to be going through rapid intensification right as she’s coming ashore like Michael did. If that happens, since she’s moving faster than Michael did, inland areas of southern and central Georgia (maybe north GA too) could see their worst hurricane effects in the last century or more.

Well aren't you just full of cheery news.

They are forecasting the center will go 7 miles west of me tomorrow morning. I guess I lived in this house long enough, right?

I dont have one. Although weirdo neighbor with six yappy mutts has all kinds of shit over there. Wonder how much of it will end up over here?

My first thought above after reading this...

...maybe it'll solve the yapping mutt problem. 😂

If it would blow the mutts away and leave the houses I'd be ok with that. I don't want him to be homeless, we have enough half crazy people living on the streets. Just want the dogs to STFU. Mine are rambunctious but nothing like his. Maybe because I keep an eye on them and try to train them to behave.

Ha. Wish I had better news. What general area are you located?

3-4 miles west of downtown Roswell.

Ah gotcha. It will probably be a memorable storm there but nothing too terribly crazy.

Long as it doesn’t fvck up anything too bad im good. I already know I won’t have power till
Sunday or Monday. I’m ok with that.
