I wonder why Kemp did state of emergency for all of GA? Just the money aspect maybe? My mom is freaking in Valdosta. Locals talking scary and it may get rough. But isn't Valdosta on the not as bad side of it if it stays on the current track? Any thoughts on how bad it could be there. She should have let my sister come pick her up to go to Albany already. Geez
The current track puts Valdosta on the right hand side which is the bad side. The eye may go right over Valdosta. Current track takes the hurricane east of Albany which would be the better side as of right now but that can change in an hour.

Yep. Gonna go bomkers from here on in
Oh my. I thought it looked like it was going to the east of Valdosta too but that may have changed. Not good. Thanks Bham.
I think it just depends on which model you see. No one really knows I don't think.
Yeah I don't why I would think anybody knows exactly yet. LOL. People are getting all jacked up down there and worried. Me too for family a bit..Thanks.
REFER TO THE ATTACHED IMAGE FROM THE NWS TALLAHASSEE OFICE, VALDOSTA COULD AND WILL MOOST LIKELY SEE 100+MPH WINDS

I would not want to be in Valdosta with this storm. Albany will get less impacts than Valdosta.

My mom lives in Americus which is north of Albany. I told her to expect some gusty winds but nothing too terrible. Seems like along and East of I-75 is where the biggest impacts in GA will be.

It's funny because I've been watching The Weather Channel and all the cities they have listed on their map show nothing more than 60 mph wind gusts.
IKR. I'm thinking it may be worse than what my mama and sister think and probably too late to go to Albany. I hope not.
Crazy. I thought it was showing signs of concentric eyewalls earlier, but now the inner eyewall has went bonkers and has taken completely over.
Edit: velocities rapidly growing in eyewall.

I don't like these maps TWC has been showing. They just showed the map again and it shows maximum gusts of 60ph tomorrow which I think could be way too low. I would advise your mom to leave Valdosa no later than early tomorrow morning.
Getting mesovorts in the eyewall again. Looking stout.
lighting in the eyewall with this last hot tower
Thanks for your help. I'm going to tell my sis to go get her early and take back to Albany. Just hope she doesn't drive through bad stuff at like 5 to 7am. They ask me what's going on like I know. I just ask ya'll. LOL. Enough about mama on the forum. Carry on. Thanks.
I don't think it's too late.
Here's the hourly forecast for Valdosta. Wind and rain looks to start about 5:00 a.m..
