The yellow lifeguard stand won't be there much longer.

We're still in Fairhope, AL (eastern shore of Mobile Bay). Last three days the forecasting has been dire. Get ready to evacuate, yada, yada, yada. Welp...so far not a drop of rain and none in the forecast as of this afternoon.

We've been actively trying to move to NE GA or SC near Clemson with no luck finding a house. About now, I'm glad!

Stay safe all...especially in Dahlonega!

We're in metro ATL and lost power about 20 times last evening. Most were just flickers off then back on (but enough to reset the modem/router which takes 10 minutes to recover), but a couple lasted 10 or 20 minutes.

Volume of rain has picked up in the last 30 minutes . So far minimal wind but we expect that to increase . Looks like if we survive to about noon tomorrow we will have withstood the worst . That assumes the storm stays on the projected path . I am hoping not to hear the generator start tonight .

Low tide when storm arrives, I think? that is good

rfuerst911sc 09-26-2024 03:29 PM

The rain is really coming down now , still very little wind . Power still on . Hoping for a better tomorrow .

Stay safe, folks...

More than 200K without power already....and it hasn't hit ground yet.

Cat 4 now, looks headed for Talahasse then Atlanta.

Looks like landfall about 11PM tonight. Just some gusty winds and light rain here in the Sebring area. Mostly sunny today actually.

We are not in the cone anymore here in Opelika, Alabama. I work at the Kia plant in West Point, Georgia, and we shut it down tonight at 6:30. Right now, I am only seeing some rain. Hope everyone stays safe. It's going to be a really strong storm even when it gets into mid Georgia.

I've been watching this live stream from a storm chaser.

I've been watching these guys. I'm in Opelika, Alabama, and we are not in the cone anymore. It has only been raining off and on here. I work at the Kia plant in West Point, Georgia, and we shut the plant down at 6:30 tonight in anticipation of this hurricane. I hope everyone stays safe.

I have an app that has real time conditions on the globe. It showed over 9m waves in the gulf. Take care everyone in the path.

Dixie 09-26-2024 07:34 PM

I'm about two inches away from water in my house, and high tide cresting is an hour away. Most of my neighbors are underwater,, ugh!

Bill Douglas 09-26-2024 07:42 PM

It's been raining here but NOTHING like what you guys are getting. Good luck guys and in particular Dixie. That water is too close :eek:

jyl 09-26-2024 07:47 PM

Oh no, hang in there Dixie!

Dixie 09-26-2024 07:59 PM

I think it's the metal awnings. They're the reason the wind wips about outside yet barely whispers through my house. Oh, what I would give for a fan. Not that a fan would do any good. The electricity is out. A hurricane has seen to that.
That's not the only issue I face. The river is inches from my door. The tide won't peak for an hour, and it's raining.

Given the situation, the best I can do is lay naked on the floor and sweat. It's late. I want too sleep, but it's too hot. Instead I just lay there, miserable as Satan's house cat.

My phone rings. It's Tony, the retired doctor I've been out with a few times. "Hey babe. You should come over. I have a generator. The AC and TV are on." It sounds like heaven, but heaven probably comes with strings. Strings that are a bit of a problem. See, I like Tony. I'd like us to become a couple, and not just a one night stand.

So I lie on the floor sweating. I swat at mosquitoes. The wind blows. Debris crash against my house. The river continues to rise. I stare into the dark and I wonder....
What kind of fool am I?
