The worse the storm isn't here yet, it will be this afternoon.
Do you think the worst will be over by midnight ?

With each gust I wonder if this is the one that KO's the power...and I definitely saw a brief light flicker this time.

Water levels are about 2.5 feet over normal in CHS. Asked a buddy how it was he said its enough to be frickin' annoying lol.
We lost power briefly but consistently flickering

Might just be a matter of time now. One more big gust and my power might be gone.

As the low pressure system moves acoss southwestern Georgia, it's going to pull those heavier bands of rain north and westward. That's when things will start to really go down.

Still just some light rain here in Atlanta. Occasional gust up to 20mph but the wind really hasn't blown bad here. We will see what this afternoon brings when the heavier bands approach.

Had a huge 30 to 35 mph gust from what I can tell here just a few minutes ago. Also, they are turning the water off for 30 minutes to replace a meter up here. Who would do that in a tropical storm? Couldn't they just hold off a day?

My dad tried to call a sewer company to fix a blockage in our home and was promptly told no because of the storm.

My oldest daughter is in Atlanta, next to I-75 just after I-85 splits off. At 8am she had lost power 4 times since 5am, the longest for 10 minutes.

Hoping the wind direction starts to change soon. Winds are out of of the NE, and a tall tree plus winds could mean a branch down later on. Also have a large tree facing the driveway that could mean trouble if they don't shift. The winds are definitely picking up and are sustained probably around 10 to 20 mph.

In last 5 minuets you can definitely tell winds are starting to increase. Getting some good gust now.
