Invidiosulus Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 It’s already raining cats and dogs here in Western NC. Some reports are saying we could be in for 20” of rain. I hope everyone stays safe and dry. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWOReilly Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I’m just north of Atlanta. We’re probably just going to be blown away. Good luck! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Chi-town Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Amazing how far these storms create havoc. I am 20 miles NE of Louisville, and we are looking at 3-5 inches of rain from this storm. My son at UK in Lexington is looking at 5+ inches of rain. They are putting out a warning for SE Appalachia regarding potential landslides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also discovered I have a little leak at one end of my living room. I was able to climb up in the attic and get a large cooler under it now so at least it will stop dripping through the ceiling. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered a leak or at least I thought I had. We’ve had inches of rain in the last couple of days and not a drop in my bucket. We’ll see how it does through Helene….. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 We'll see what we get up this way. Was bone dry for almost 3 weeks but in the past week we got a couple inches according to my gauge. Think I'll slip out and mow the yard since it's hard to say what we'll get. Calling for lower temps and rain most of next week. Buckle up @billybob1 and everyone else in her path. We all know how fickle women can be. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave,, plan is leaving dodge, heading east maybe 50 miles. Family and condition made me decide. Y'all be careful out there up north...🤔 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob1 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Yes men, been already ready to git outa that place. First real gusto was 9:30 maybe 75 + Picking up quick. Live oak and 10. Wind trying to lift the passenger front. Lights like looking into refection from the rain ☔. Lights just blinking at stores. Maybe they'll hold. Happy I left the wild west. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told at work to not come in until 9:30 tomorrow morning UNLESS they send a text that we are closed for the day. I'm expecting we'll be off, as it would be too risky to load up our individuals we take care of and bring them to our center. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Bruce!!!!!!! I have moved to Milton GA. Closer to you. Hey you...wife... and your son need to come see me. Heresy I Subs. 4 sealed Eminence lab 12s . Klipsn 510 and Klipsch k 691 driver above a B & C 10inch woofer... How are the snails? Jc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Eh... got sidetracked and the budget is too tight. It didn't help that I was given an androgen blocker shot before the 36 radiation treatments. My energy has been pretty low or less. Good news is I've gained my weight back and the urologist says I don't need to come back and visit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob1 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 When was a kid always wanted to know why hurricane lasted so long. Must be reliving my wonder. Saw lightning storm into Georgia. It is a most awesome storm. Talk again Dave. Coming somewhere north I guess. Beware! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It has moved eastwardly. Our winds haven't been bad in Chattanooga area. The 'eye' if you can still call it that, it between Athens and Dahlonega. Unless I get a text from work, we go in at 9:30. Most of our campus will be closed. Just hoping the power stay on. It really messes with out computers when we have storms like this. We have over 300 computers and servers that our staff of three support. Hope everyone along the gulf made it ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWOReilly Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Yeah it tracked a bit further east. Everything seems good in the hood. I have to wait for damage report for the family farm which is a bit to the northeast. Hope everyone else has survived unscathed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It threaded the needle between Atl. & Clt. Will make that eastern big band over me soon. Lots of rain the past several days, it is noisy right now. As long as the system doesn't stall it'll be fine. If it is gusts in the 40s at the airport in town it might be + 10mph here from what I've observed the past year. @billybob1 looks like your town got hit with some pretty bad surge. Saw a video of houses banging into each other. Pray it wasn't in your neighborhood! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
