WannaBe,
Forecast track has shifted more west.

Better fasten down your loose items....your gonna be more in the eye wall than me now.

We're getting warnings as far north as here of tropical force winds.

Stay safe Swamp. Northeast quadrant is always the worst.

This one is starting to feel more like Opal that reached Birmingham just below hurricane strength. I worked that one pulling security at hotel under remodel next to the civic center. I was on the roof at the height of it checking that the parapet was holding up.

Good luck to you guys having to go thru this.We just came thru one a couple weeks ago. I know our was not as bad as what you're looking at.

hang in there and hunker down. My older brother and about 1500 men from multi Electrical coops from East Texas are headed to Alabama tonight, they are staging there unitl tomorrow night. his two sons are already in Alabama and heading into Ga, on the west side of the projected path to jump on the damage as soon as it is safe to do so. Thats just the ones from East Texas. Their are a ton of them over all of the southern states that always network and coordinate their efforts. They are on their way and will work their tails off to get yalls power back on.

God bless yall and be patient and vigilant.

We really appreciate those linemen! God bless em all!

Now predicted to be a cat 4 by landfall. Crap is right.

You fellas down there stay safe. Here's hoping the damage is minimal!

My brother lives in Americus, GA which looks to get it around 1:00 am Friday. Hold on down there.

Yeah, got awaken at 0500 this morning with an Emergency message over the phone about 36hr notice of a Hurricane Warning. Been getting them all day, lol.
It’s gonna be bad, but it is what it is. Wish that thing would take a hard left and head back to Mexico, lol.

It just keeps getting better, now they’re saying if could possibly be a Cat 3 when it comes over us. Cat 1 was bad enough last time. I can’t imagine a Cat 3. They’re even saying possibly tropical storm force winds all the way past Macon. This is gonna BLOW…literally!!

It's about to tighten up and strengthen. Seems to have a faster than usual forward speed and that is gonna carry hurricane wind gusts to middle Ga and storm force winds all the way to North Ga.


It is about to make weather history.....we'll remember this one down here.

Hunker down SW and WB , We are expecting a HUGE mess up my way but y`all are going to take it on the nose ,
Keep ya powder dry ,

Stay safe ALL!

Gas stations here have ran out/or are running out of fuel.

Bad history I'm afraid. Looking like it's going get deep into Georgia with a punch. Lots of folks up my way have no idea just how ugly it's about to get.

Unless forecast changes....the Big Bend fishing communities of Keaton Beach, Steinhatchie, and many others are about to be destroyed. Up to 20ft tidal surge. Most of those beach houses and those built along those canals are not that high.

It'll pretty much wipe whatever place it touches down off the map. Sad considering that area still holds some of the old Florida coast that has yet to subdivided into beachfront condos.
It's also going through the heart of the most unique honey producing/beekeeping areas in the nation. That area around Blountstown and Wewa is tupelo honey.

You think of hurricane’s destruction along the coast, you don’t think of it hundreds of miles inland.
We’re about as prepared as we could be I guess. It’ll be “brace for impact” and see what it looks like tomorrow. Folks will see how “stout” their houses are. We’ll see how well the trees handle it. I have a feeling we’re going to lose a lot of oaks out of this.
Last hurricane the wife and kids went to shelter and lived large, lol. Think they’re staying to ride it out with me this time. At least one of us has to stay to take care of the dogs and deal with anything major that might need immediate attention.
Swamp, y’all stay safe over there!!
