Who’s Getting Slapped by HELENE?
Just finally cranking up here east of Tampa. Some bands of heavy rain and wind, but nothing too crazy so far. Glad it drifted more West. Not good for the Big Bend, but at least less populated over there.
Sure looking forward to retiring back to the Blue Ridge where I won’t have to deal with this nonsense. This is, I think, our 11th or 12th, not even counting the smaller Tropical Storms.

Not yet here in WNC but we are sure getting worshed real good. 5 inches here since 5 pm last night and just about 10 miles south the got 8 from the tropical storm. Radar shows more heavy rain and 60 mile per hour wind on the way tomorrow from this storm. Local goberments have declared a state of emergency and set a curfew from 8PM tonight until early tomorrow.
Helene won't be here until Saturday morning. Sure glad I live on high ground.

We're near Flagler beach (15 miles north of Daytona) and we haven't even had much rain yet, the wind is picking up significantly however. The worst is yet to come but it's not going to be anything compared to you folks on the left side of the state.
Praying for you guys.

Me, right in the path just a few miles North of Albany, Ga, I'm as ready as anyone can be……..Dcon is a few miles South of Albany and I''m sure his pecan trees will give him a fit (shallow roots) afterwards. We should be use to these things by now that they come every 2/3 years but the hard work is the cleanup afterward that's what's really tough. It's all in our creators hands now 😉

Here in Upstate S.C. it has been raining most of the day. Just as I started typing this it really started pouring!
Weather report says it will rain all night and on until early afternoon.
Where we are located we are very safe, just very wet.

She's still spinning at Cat 4 level and has made landfall. Heading inland and northwest. Looks as if she's going to march through western Georgia, northern Alabama into Tennessee. I remember Katrina still blowing at Cat 1 level into Arkansas. At Cat 4 I wonder if Helene will do the same thing.

It dropped to Cat 1 very quickly. Came thru central Ga as Cat 1 then dropped to tropical storm. No power here, off since 4am. Local news says 4 dead so far, 2 in a mobile home(tornado), one in a car crash, one tree fell on house.
Biggest damage around here is a few trees down. I expect more to fall. Prob had 8 to 9 inches of rain and the wind is still whipping.

Yea, I think I’d rather be in the Hurricane.

I'm the black dot on the map. Wind gusts up to 40 mph. Wind warning in effect until 7 am tomorrow morning. East of me I'm sure its even worse.
We have had a good amount of rain over the past couple of weeks so we may have trees down just by roots losing their grip and tipping over.
Forecast is showing four days of rain. The way it looks, many others will be having multiple days of rain. I'm going out of town for a week. Probably will have knee deep grass when I get back.

It veered east just enough to miss a direct hit on wifes family in Crawfordville . . . we think.
Have not heard from them yet, but with those winds it would be amazing if they were not impacted in a big way.

40MPH gusts here in scenic Lizton, Indiana. Rain through Monday.

Calling for up to 55 mph gusts here in dead middle Illinois.
My friend in St Pete had storm swell of about a foot in their house and garage.0 -
Nice place to visit, but I would not live here either. Sea food is way better than NM.
