Haralson County in GA currently has the largest % out with several counties to the S almost as high.

Still hanging on to power here. Very surprised.

I just saw my first transformer flash of the night. I wish my tempest station was on the roof too. It would be wicked right now.

For those back to our west in Alabama, how long is this lasting? A couple hours?

2-3 hours. Intermittent though. Quiet for a few minutes, then bam.

Sitting on the balcony, this is wicked. I've had to have 50mph gust a couple times. Hearing limbs crack left and right.

I’m in Acworth, with Corp of engineer woods behind my house. Winds started waking me up about 90 minutes ago, but I was able to doze off and on. Then about 15 minutes ago I heard a big tree crack and fall behind our house, and it freaked me out so much I got up. I can smell the wood, so it has to be pretty close, though I can’t see anything cuz is so dark. We still have power, though it is flickering now and then. Wind is just roaring right now!

3km NAM seems to be handling the progression better than the hrrr.

My lights keep flickering. Power really wants to go out here. 3km NAM has the worst winds progged here between 5-7am.

 

[Snow_chaser]

Lights blinking but holding on lol. Outside on my front porch and this is amazing. Wind will ease off then you can hear the next gust coming. So warm out also, our air is running

 

[Brent]

The airport in Alex City about 30 miles from my parents gusted to 62 at least

The last BMX prediction had 69 there...

Power finally gave in about 15 minutes ago. I’m not sure what my gust are but it has to be near the highest since I moved here in 08.

Stronger gusts now, acorns and small branches slamming the roof and windows, and just heard another big tree come down behind the house. Lights flickering a ton, doubt we have power much longer. This is scary!
