Also they confirmed the HH that was doing loops in the eye checking to make sure they were not damaged in a violent updraft...

Damn!!!

Just north of Macon. My plan was to find a parking deck downtown and ride out the core later but now wondering if we will be too far west and if I may need to go East on 16 to like Dublin or something to hit the core. But no parking decks out there in those small towns lol

I would go to Dublin or Milledgeville

Not by the look of the satellite and radar. Still a fairly noticeable NNE movement

This thing is screaming to the NNE, good thing it is running out of ocean too. Goodness

I live twenty miles west of Dublin, there's not going to be any parking decks in all of Laurens County. However, there's plenty of businesses located at the main Dublin exit on I-16.

Latest HRRR 23Z shifted the eye east in Georgia. Atlanta doesn't get gusty winds of 35 mph until around 7 am.

I thought you were in Eastman.

It takes the eye directly over me. I will get the north eyewall which sucks but I'm hopeful it is right in keeping the max to the east...barely. Still expect hurricane force gusts but maybe those 85 plus gusts misses me. Fingers crossed.

Parts of Dodge County with Eastman addresses are only 20-25 minutes WSW of Dublin.

The rain is just relentless in Atlanta. The tops of the trees are just bending with water, almost looks like an ice storm, it will not take much wind at all to topple them..

 

[Stump]

This thing is still bombing out. Look at last scans from the KTLH Sites:

Not to mention the vortices now happening in the eye.

Not buying that at all, from what I am hearing from TWC and local TV.

Seeing on Twitter that someone is flying a private aircraft around the eye of Helene...

For the Southern half of Georgia (below Macon), the amount of rain before the main event is the big differentiation factor so far when compared to Michael. With Michael, only a few sections of the area (I want to say mainly around the Peach/Crawford county areas) received any significant pre-event rain bands. Whenever the winds start coming through the generalized area, the copious amount of moisture in the ground is unfortunately going to most likely aid in an excessive amounts of trees falling. I certainly hope that I'm wrong, but this is not looking good at the current moment.

There's so many conflicting opinions. It's anyone's guess really.

It’s obviously still moving NNE. I think we miss the worst winds here in the Commerce/Athens area. At least I’m hopeful of that.
