Hey friends,
I hope everyone is doing okay. We're fine in Coastal Georgia, just no power (might be out a few days). Hope everyone else fared well.
Helene - everyone okay?

Re: Helene - everyone okay?
Lots of wind and rain this morning in central NC. Lots of rain this whole week. Power flickered off and on a few times, but otherwise OK

Re: Helene - everyone okay?
One thing I learned from having been evacuated for a week and a half with the CA wildfires is that if power will be out for an extended amount of time (I turned off our generator so it wouldn’t run the whole time) is:
Empty the ice in the ice maker of your fridge/freezer and obviously then turn off the ice maker.
Otherwise you come home to a buckled floor in front of your fridge. Tearing up some of the vinyl flooring and replacing some of the sub floor is tomorrow’s number one chore.
Hope everyone weathered the storm!

Re: Helene - everyone okay?
Cobb County was drenched as well as the northwestern quarter of the state (which fared better than middle and southern portions). At least fifteen were killed in Georgia including a firefighter from the Blackshear area (Pierce County). Helene was disastrous.

Re: Helene - everyone okay?
Sorry to hear all that -- my friend in central northern VA also had power and phone go out, and not even in the main path.
Here, we were 108 yesterday, with near zero humidity.

I'm about an hour north of David in NW GA. We had not so terrible rain and moderate winds. I really feel for the folks in the southern half of the state and in the Panhandle. It was a disaster for them.

Got the remnants in Ohio.. Neighbor had a huge oak tree come down in their house. Luckily it crushed the spare bedroom so no injuries.
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.
