Tropical Major Hurricane Helene

I'm just curious how strong the winds will be on the west side of the center as it tracks through the southern half of Georgia. I'm just not really sure what to expect honestly.
 
I saw something where the Hurricane force winds extend 60 miles from the center but not sure if thats only to the east of the center or not.
 
I've already recorded well over five inches of rain, I actually think that the number of trees down in Middle/South Georgia tonight will be astronomical in terms of coverage due to the combination of wind speed/moisture soaked ground. I told someone earlier that I think that this will have the potential to do more damage (maybe not as intense) over a bigger geographic area than Michael.

You are in a really bad location.
 
Going to be a really different experience depending on what side of the center you are on, west side still not showing much of anything with surface winds barely over 50-60 mph even right on the center....versus the east side where surface winds at cane force 150 miles from the center.....there is still 4-5 hrs for her to get that sorted out some but it seems unlikely outside of a tight core of winds around the western eyewall is she can get it built in time.

Interesting dynamic, IR is probably the best it has looked but the eyewall on radar has degraded tremendously on the western side over the past hour. That said that isn’t unexpected in hurricanes under these circumstances.

That said that eastern wall is a beast.
 
Most of the mesoscale models continue to show a track to the north east corner of Georgia? Are they not trustworthy for tropical systems? The nhc track is much different.

Wherever that eastern eyewall comes ashore will likely see a 20ft plus storm surge. Hopefully it’s in as little a populated area as possible

136 kt flight-level winds. The SFMR sensor is not working.
