Tropical Major Hurricane Irma (Part 2)

[Snownut]

Just had a 30mph gust here in NW upstate and that is at 15' off the ground.

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

Yep, same here. Definitely can tell by the gusts.

We keep thinking that the next big gust is the last moment we'll have our power for a while...

Unfortunately, I still have power at work.

Macon looks like it's getting pounded right now.

My friend in Macon said it is bad..but she still has power.

Yeah winds aren't all that for me. They were stronger at 2am this morning ‍. But in all fairness, it wasn't supposed to get gusty up here till after 3 or so

Getting crazy here in CAE strong band moving through power flickering. Shawn you ok?

Has anyone heard from Phil ? Is he out of power ?

Haven't heard from him since about 8:00 CDT last night via PM. He was having a good old time then. My guess is his power is out, and will be out for a while.

Power just went out for a second. Weather isn't even that bad haha. If it gets worse later I imagine it will be out for sure.

All it takes is a tree limb brushing up against a wire to cause a momentary outage or flicker. Hoping that's the worst of it for you!

Winds have moved from calm to breezy now. Dalton Ga. has a report of up to 23 mph.

Power is out here... wind gusts 50 at times..
Atlanta reports wind gust of 51mph!

I think the outage is going to go east to west Irma moves NW eventually

We are gusting close to 70 at times power is still on somehow

Gusts are really picking up here in Decatur. Going to leave my comfy upstairs bedroom for the basement for the remainder of the day.

Looks like the rain is already clearing out in South GA.
