That represents a hell of a lot of trailer parks as it goes north.

Well, I gotta admit, I've never personally witnessed an eyewall to a hurricane, and if the path deviates just a hair to the west, I've got a shot at it.  So I've got that going for me.  In other news, all the milk and bread has been purchased at the store, so apparently, our community is now ready.  Meanwhile, plenty of chain oil is sitting on shelves in stores, should work out great!

 Buying milk before you inevitably lose power and refrigeration is a choice, I guess. Is all of Florida like Houston now where half the homes have generetors?

Wouldn’t want to be flying through ATL tomorrow.

Don't worry, I'm sure Ron will do plenty of grandstanding in white boots.  

Shits so big it's in the gulf but is pulling in upwards of 3' of storm surge on the coast of the Atlantic.

As for the ride it out folks...  I used to think under Cat3 is no reason to get excited.  However, as of about 10yrs ago, I subscribe to the theory that you can just go on vacation somewhere and have a nice time whilst your shit is getting fucked up at home.  Why stress about trees down in the road and possibly getting electrocuted whilst cleaning up the yard, then taking a shower with the hose, sitting in a hot wet house, and eating shitty hurricane supplies?  It's madness and I'll never do it again.

 

I have 2 uncles that rode out hurricane Rita in Buna in a trailer surrounded by a ton of tall pine trees. They said as scary as it was to ride out the storm, the worst part was the 3 weeks that followed with no electricity or running water in humid weather and surviving on MREs that FEMA brought in. 

Asheville North Carolina is already flooded. I just goodness me. And that’s before the really bad stuff moves in. Sad. 😢 

 

so the storm chasers are saying it’s now a Cat 4. Jesus.

 

I don’t have much more to say. Thankfully for yall. Sad 😢

That's wild with Asheville, the full rain hasn't really hit here yet, and I'm about 120 miles south, southwest from there.  We are due to start getting the heavy bands in the next hour or so; so yeah, not even close to the brunt of it there or here.

Serious question.  If you had an older relative that you could easily take in a fight, is it legal to literally kidnap them, throw them on back of your Tahoe and drive them to safety.  Would you get in trouble with the law for that?

They’d hate you for the rest of their life, but they’d still be alive at least.

Does this have anything to do with the hurricane?  Regardless of the situation, as long as you can easily convince the cops that grandpa is having another “episode” they usually try to stay out of those situations.

If you toss in a “hey, I know it’s about 70 miles from here, but would you mind taking him back to the nursing home? Or is that out of your jurisdiction and I’m responsible for getting him back there?”

Same to all, and I hope everyone impacted just gets thru this alive.  Not worried, for us, a couple of years ago I had to take down all the trees near my house for a number of reasons.  All I have are Japanese Maple and Cherry Blossoms, now my neighbors on the other hand, potential for yikes. I do have my saws gassed up and ready to help people tomorrow in the aftermath.  

I wonder what Surly member is about to leeroy jenkins this shit in his learjet...

My pool in Atlanta nearly overflowed and the storm hasn’t even gotten here yet. We had big unrelated storms that have saturated everything which means a lot of trees are going down.

The forecast says it will mostly be gone by noon tomorrow.

that learjet is probably just skimming the top of the hurricane. IIRC, wind and shit isn't as bad up that high

Sheriff in Perry FL says at 7:30p EST anyone still outside in area will be arrested... 15-20ft walls of surge expected

It's really eerie. The sky turns this greenish color and everything goes still and quiet. I don't wish upon you the storm you have to get through to get into the eye. Stay safe.

My aunt and uncle insisted on driving my grandparents to their lake house in Toledo Bend. My parents took my other grandma and drove the 21 hours it took to get from Groves to Austin. Aunt, uncle, and grandparents were stuck up there 3-ish weeks, too.

We were headed to Toledo bend too from brazoria county, but after 15 hours and still not to lufkin we said fuck it and drove home. Where of course there was some rain but nothing bad, as we watched Rita jog right and plow over the area.

My pool is overflowed, which considering how many times I've had to fill it this year I feel ok about.  First Oak I know of down, had a tenants sil have it go thru their house, just went and took them to the tenant's house.  

Buddy called from in between Gainesville and Tallahassee. Has about 10 acres. Already a few pines down.

One of the Hurricane Hunter planes just had mechanical issues and was stuck in the EYE of Helene for quite awhile...

Damn what a ride that was...

Pines are bad, but I'm really concerned about the water oaks, given the drought their root balls aren't as stable, combine that with quick ground saturation and heavy wind... no bueno.  

Is it me or does it seem like hurricanes always come ashore at night? Why would that be?

Well this time of year there is a 50/50 shot of that happening.  Equinox out front should have told you.

Been through more than I can remember.

They come at all times of the day and night.

Fuck... they are looping in the damn EYE again.  Same plane having issues.

 

Edit:  Pilot managed a strong U-turn back thru and exited the EYE.  Hopefully this guy is done... 😂😂😂😂😎

Also another Hurricane Hunter plane is headed towards the EYE as well... guess 2nd plane will have to turn away.

One of the "Weather Guys" on Ryan Hall Y'all YouTube is live monitoring communication and data from Hurricane Hunter planes thru his system and providing live updates...

Remember..it's not THAT the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing (thanks to Ron White).

Helene trying to strengthen to a Cat5  (157mph or greater)
