Hurricane Helene

[Jody Treadway]

Update: in addition to the locust, lost an oak, poplar, maple and have a 10" limb buried in the ground right beside (the bedroom) where my wife was sleeping.
Sounds like a warzone with all the trees falling around here.

You should let her sleep inside.

This is like calling a football game.
Big ass oak just fell 30' behind the house and took a hemlock with it.

The bad part is the main storm is still in GA. Hopefully it will weaken quickly now that its over land.

Luckily the eye remnants aren't too far away. Then we may just get some of the reach around effect.
Yes folks, there's always room for humor.

8 am update shows the center around Athens. They sure do pick up speed when they hit land.

Got a chinaberry tree down on my neighbors fence. I dont think we got as much rain overnight as they expected.

These pics are from the Lake James campground in Marion from 2018. The lake rose to 103 Feet. Duke Power is calling for the lake to reach 110 feet! This would be the highest lake level since it was created. Would devastate the campground.

If we get any wind at all tonight, it is going to be real ugly.

My neighbor had this one quoted a few months ago and didn’t get it taken down…

I think the hurricane saved them a few grand

Just saw that the lake lure dam is breaching due to erosion.

I understood that insurance didn't cover acts of god.
