Cat 2 isnt a big deal. Sheesh.
A pee also declared joe and the ho winner winner and
Presodent electi, my my chickin dinner. Same old
Fizzle drizzle with no look back
Looks like St. George’s Island will get hit hard. I pray all the permanent residents evacuated. It may take out that 4 mile bridge to it. Praying for all in harms way.
Have these states never seen rainfall before?
Hope springs eternal.
I am in the south Tampa Bay area and we are having minimal winds and rain.
The NHC in their 4am wind advisory reduced the wind speed before landing from 120 mph to 115 mph.
I know the media wants to make Helene the storm that changed the 2024 election, but it just seems to me that it will not be as powerful as the media likes to predict.

So it'll go all the way up the coast and put DC under 10' of water?
Neat!
Fear sells the news and scientific studies.
Sex sells products.
Its at 105mph sustained now and will be over 110mph when it hits Florida. Right now it seems pointed toward landfall maybe around Alligator Point? Hard to say.
Hopefully people in the direct path along the coast of FL are evacuating. I’ve been through a few hurricanes and anything over 110 sustained with higher gusts is intense. Plus storm surge.
They’re all gonna die! I read that this year has been a dud for hurricanes so far and the season is winding down.
Are these the same people who predicted that, after Katrina, MASSIVE hurricanes would be become the yearly norm?
Rush used to comment on the way they shaped the ‘cone’ map of where hurricane ‘might’ travel.
It would be better if they employed the Cone of Silence.
On Ryan Walls’ Youtube weather channel last night, he said western South Carolina would be experiencing a 2500 year rain/flood event. Not a 100 year, not a 500 year, but a 2500 year event. In other words, never seen in the history of humanity.
I’m in northeast Georgia and am not looking forward to this. It’s been raining since yesterday afternoon and it appears it is going to be raining for the next 50 hours or so. And don’t forget we get to look forward to the wind as well.
And Florida is going to get it so much worse!
Cue the “Human Caused Climate Change talking points.......”
Like all storms they push the end times. Common sense, for those of us who have it, will be prepared and fine.
Accuweather reporting it will hit FL as Cat 4 This evening ! Storm surge 20 ft. Even Tampa Bay expecting surge of 10 feet. My advice? Get the hell out while you still can.
It just tipped to a cat2 after all the major networks were basically saying days before that it was already a cat4.
