 Topic: Stay safe fellow Southerners!!
Posted: 10 hours 28 minutes ago at 4:52am |
We’ve already had just over 8” of rain since it started yesterday morning, several more expected to fall, hasn’t stopped in over 24 hrs. What’s left of the hurricane is still a bit over 100 miles from us, so many prayers for our brothers in the Florida and South Georgia area as they recover and see what damage the sunrise shows. Be safe everyone!!

Same here Joe. Wind and rain so far. Still have power which is surprising.

All the way up in Southern Illinois we are getting remnants of it, not near as much rain as you guys. I was at 3/4" this morning and they say we will get 2-4" by the time it is done.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Had some empty 5 gallon buckets in the back of my farm truck yesterday morning when the rain started here. Now there's water about 6 inches from the top of the bucket. I guess this would be a decent rain gauge. If so I'd say their 8 inch forecast probably wasn't to far off

My concern is the wind; we have many tall pines and several are near the house and pines are not the strongest. Herb (GA)

my gauge holds 5 1/2” it ran over last evening, emptied it, it’s got another 5” in it now at 2pm, and rain has stopped. At least for the moment. Really hoping the wind is done 5oo!

Stay safe a’ll!!
Here in Iowa it’s almost perfect weather other than being a little dry…
Seen on news that right where the hurricane is is 160 mph wind, that would wipe out a lot of things around here!!
