That sucks. How are you and your business?
All good. Not bad at all here. My shop seems fine too. I checked the camera and I still have power and internet there. Got lucky. Just a few miles away got some good surge.
My home is far enough away from the coast not to be a issue. When I moved here, I was scared of the coast.
I can get to the beach in 15 mins and thats close enough.

anemometers break
Surely we have the technological capability now to build anemometers that can sustain incredibly high wind if desired.

Gust may approach 140.....
But there is generally a 2/3 rule on Sustained
Maybe 85-90 sustained

For the Georgia folks ...NHC updated the track with the 11:00 advisory.
Comes up just west of Macon, heading pretty much due north, crosses right over Jackson, Conyers, and Snellville, takes a slight NW turn and skirts Lawrenceville on the west side.and heads toward Canton and Cleveland, TN.

Glad to hear it. No hope Florida gets a break the next few years. I hope that we all do.

We do. The Japanese have them, but we can't even keep what we have functional, so......

You all good man?? Our power went out for about 4 hours or so, but it's back on now. Not much rain, but the wind was whipping there for a while.

Power just went out here in Neptune Beach (Jacksonville coast)
