Huge gusts of wind (sounded like 50+ easily) just now and I just lost power. It is roaring in gusts. Hearing bangs on my roof. Easily worst here since Matthew (2016), which I wasn’t even here for due to evacuation, it appears

The H85 winds are insane. Mixing down, I would NOT be surprised Savannah gets some hurricane force gusts before it's all said and done.

Looking back in Florida lots of 70+ gust well east of the center...still looking like a decent NE component to her motion as well...
And there’s been little or no rain falling with these high gusts. And they are coming in big gusts. Then it quiets. Then another big gust.

Eye in the corner --those looking at the eastern component to the northerly direction can check back on this map. The eye started fully inside the map touching the left edge.

Damn, I just nowcasted the hell out of this. HRRR showing several more hours of possible gusts to hurricane force for Savannah. It's showing Augusta to 80mph in a few hours.

The eye is currently sitting right now on the Berrien/Atkinson County line, that position is way east of the NHC map.

It appears to be moving due northeast, but should probably make a more northwardly move soon I would presume.

3 hours over land and Helene still looks just as intense, if not more ominous now than 3 hours ago!

How can it look just as intense when it has decreased from 140 to 90 ?

Looking at my very amateur weather bug radar…it looks like it’s turning NW?!?

2:00 am and 3:00 am can you see the shift west?

I hope not, I have been feeling more relaxed with the shift east, as much as it sucks for the east
