    This must be quite a storm!

    Forecast is for 50 MPH winds and 10’ waves on Lake Erie!

      We might get some impacts here as well, it's kind of too soon to tell though.

      My old town in the southeast is going to get walloped though. I'm more than a little worried about that!

              Chas, not really. You have to go north to get to rolling hills. I haven't looked at a map (that would be interesting) but Gainesville is at a higher elevation, iiirc.

              Much depends on whether you're next to the Gulf or another body of water. I'm not so I don't have to worry about storm surge.

              It's raining moderate to almost heavy and the wind is now about 30 mph. I think this will be the worst of it here.

                @Daniel As long as that lack of wind doesn’t mean you’re in the eye of the storm! Good luck.

                  One county where Helene going
                  is telling people that will not evacuate to write their names and birthdates on their leg or arm with a Magic Marker.
                  That says a lot.

                      @Daniel how are you doing?

                      We have a high wind warning through 11pm tonight and the forecast says to expect widespread power outages. There is also a lot of rain predicted, but I believe wind is the bigger concern. We’ll see how it goes.

                          CNN was showing flooding in Pinellas County. Daniel?

                            Watched Weather Channel - not surprisingly, lots of power outages, including Pinellas.

                              I saw the briefest report from Atlanta, it looks like they have really, really bad flooding. 😞

                                Just checked with my friend who lives in Atlanta. She’s doing fine. Seven inches of rain in 24 hours; the worst was to the east of them.

                                    @wtg My youngest son and his family live in an Atlanta suburb. He reports a lot of rain and wind with some flickering of the power, but no sustained outage.

                                    On the other hand, my daughter in North Carolina is without power and has retreated to their camper to ride the storm out.

                                        I'm fine. No damage.

                                        In Pinellas and Pasco, people with no power, storm surge flooding, homes damaged or destroyed.

                                        It's very random.

                                        The only thing I can tell for sure is don't buy on the water because that is almost an invitation to a flood.

                                        Thanks for asking.
