Current Events > Any of you in the path of Helene

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's looking to be quite unpleasant. It's aiming for where I'm at in GA and I'm hoping I keep power or atleast it's not out to long. Atleast I managed to avoid them for the 7 years I was in the Destin area of Florida because that would have been far more devastating.

Yet again, Jax is clear of the majority. Just getting a bit of wind and rain.

Remnants, yes. Basically set to get rain starting here shortly, going non-stop through Sat morning.

Im east of Atlanta, were under a severe storm warning. Im not too worried except for some of the old trees on our property

I'm most worried about flooding myself. Power outage would suck but the only bad part is making sure food is good for the newborn.

I'm in Tampa, power has been out for 2 hours. Luckily it went out 30 minutes after I got off work and was chosen to take tomorrow off.

not unless she decides to come up the east coast

Im near the projected path in GA but not in Florida at least
we got non pershiables last night in the soaking rain then it didnt rain all day today lol

Rains been off and on here in Houston county. It isnt bad but it sucks for the dogs.

This, but it won't be bad for us at all. Just some rain.

Hey fellow Duval dweller

I went to school with someone who lives in Tallahassee now, but we haven't talked in a while, so I don't know what he's doing

It's raining in NC and not supposed to stop for a few days but I wouldn't consider myself in its path until it makes some sort of obvious turn northeast

I'm in east of Atl. As prepared as I can be.

Been raining all day. Wind and falling trees have me concerned. Expecting to wake up with no electricity

good luck and stay safe to all that are.

I'm on the space coast, that puts us well south east of the projected path. It was pretty Grey and foreboding outside and the wind has been picking up. There was lots of tree debris in the yards when I was out about 2 hours ago and our internet slipped about a half hour ago.

Really hoping for the best for the people in the path. I remember several years ago we bailed out and headed up that way Fort Walton) when one was coming our way and the damn thing shifted and went right up the west coast right at us.

Hey fellow Duval dweller

There's more than one of us! Granted I moved here like 2 years ago so I'm not native.

Ohhhh. Im born and raised here but Duval is Duval no matter how long youve lived here

Low pressure in Tennessee is sucking up energy from the storm and flinging it towards St.Louis. Gonna be a rainy Friday, with scattered rain for the weekend. Bad timing as Billy Joel is at the stadium tonight, and Evolution Festival this weekend

Didn't lose power and don't seem to have any downed trees. Hope everyone else is alright.

My power got knocked out this morning. Ripped some of the siding off my house too lol

she decided to hit kansas and Tennessee. that is where it's likely to linger and turn into remnants.

Hopefully it's not a hard fix. Had one in Florida take off a bit of siding but got lucky with that being a quick fix.

Barely noticed it in north Orlando. Just a bit of wind and rain.

Same.

Got our power knocked out since 11 last night. Lot of trees fell over and some roads got closed off.

The one thing I miss is a hot cup of coffee. Lucky we have family down the road who have power.

Stay safe all!

In Greenville, SC. We got absolutely obliterated. Powers been done for 3+ hours now with no sign of it coming back. Major flooding everywhere. Luckily I'm 3 stories up in an apartment so I'm all safe and sound

they're all drowning :(. gawd damnit.

thank god for 3 story apartments.

All the roads in the entire western half of NC have been closed. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like that before.

Damn. I'll be going to Asheville in a couple weeks too.

Upstate SC here. Without power for 13 hours and counting. Some of my favorite places in the NC mountains have literally been washed away

Yeah SC got hit pretty hard. Im in the midlands, and was without power for 13 hours. My family nearby still dont have power and may not for some time. I was going to head to their place just because they have a bigger house and more supplies but roads are blocked with downed trees and debris so Im just sitting tight. Glad for that now since I have power. They said they may come here tomorrow, and I said fine if you can make it here . Stay safe everyone. 20 deaths reported in SC alone so far.
