Power outage update. Tomorrow night will be a week since landfall
I have a cousin that lives in Valdosta and her and her husband and daughter and grandson rode out the storm a couple miles from their at a friends house. She said the friend has a home weather station and it showed the winds topping out at 98mph sustained and gusted to 134mph. So it seems that was a legitimate wind report there.

Apparently one of the 10th Street signs in downtown Augusta managed to get blown all the way to Thomson.
Found it pretty funny.
I'd at least post the sign, but I can't, saw it on Facebook.

Horrifying
Right off I85 exit 78 behind Guy Roofing. Google street view 5 months ago and my picture today of the same area.

One positive note of interest that came from Helene: all of the procrastinators out there who like to wait until the last minute to file their tax returns will have until May 1st 2025 to get that done without an extension for 2024 and with an extension for 2023 returns in states affected by the storm.

WRAL raised 650k today in a telethon
The mud in Marshall is reported as toxic. Anyone who is cleaning up there will need a full PPE outfit. This was reported by WWNC.
Powerful.

All their water is our water eventually. Sobering . All that debri hung up on rocks, riverbanks. How will it ever get cleaned out?

It's water under the bridge now since our power is back (now just waiting on internet), but we truly were lucky on the road I live on.
In spite of getting hammered for at least a good two hours, none of the big trees around me came down and the electricity structure looked largely intact. The problem was the nearby substation and some power pole damage on the highway in which my dad spotted them fixing yesterday in the afternoon, not on my road.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — There are at least 180 deaths from Hurricane Helene so far, and that number is expected to continue climbing, especially in Western North Carolina.
“We took 300 body bags into one place, and they called back 10 minutes later and said they need more,” North Carolina Aerospace Volunteer and Muscle Shoals local Brett Harlow said.
