My son is at Ft. Benning GA for basic training in the Army. I see that some of the storm is going to touch into GA, where is ft benning in the mix? Does anybody know?
Always that potential for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes as in Katrina or Ivan. But Ft. Benning is much further west in comparison to Rita than to the other two storms.
YOu can always look here from time to time.

or use this map

then mouse over the 'tabs' at the top of the map.
I have not seen any reputable reports that the storm will touch GA.
However, the cost of the storm will.
Benning is in SW GA on the border w/Alabama. Approx hour and half to 2 hrs SW of Atlanta.
midway up the state..just outside Columbus, GA.

God bless your son for his service. And your son's gonna be fine there. The best thing about the storm is that it may cool the troops off a little. The red clay and pine woods at Ft. Benning in August and September can be a sneak preview of h*ll for back sliders....
