Hurricane Helene

[BWR1953]

Hoping everyone in the path has the hatches battened down.

We have our place secured and are prepped for the event. Looks like we'll get 50-80MPH winds here.

Hoping all stay safe in the path, whichever path Helene decides to take ...

A 20 FOOT storm sure is now predicted. Path looks like all of Florida west coast is getting a 4 level and the record water storm surge.

There was a gap in the storm this morning, so my wife and I decided to go fishing!

Hurricane bite!

This morning there was a gap in the hurricane, so my wife and I decided to hit our favorite lunker hole. When we arrived, the sidewalk leading to the pond was completely flooded over, about ankle deep. I chose not to ruin my New Balance shoes or risk walking barefoot, but my wife wasn't...

That armpit of fl is going to be trashed- if it make it to a 4 it will be unhabital. Talking a cat 2 up into ga now-

I'm in KY, not that close
Wifes Aunt is in Englewood FL but she moved inland for this one. Her brother is in Salt Springs FL during winter months

What's the newbox?

Looks like going to sit on top of us in TN and do a 360 before heading up to the NE. Over 3 inches so far, still have 24 hours or so left to go.

thats because @southkogs didnt provide Helene the proper sacrifice when he was in Florida and it followed him home.
