Hunker down. This one keeps growing! Why does it have to be coming right at me again?

That bitch's eye is headed straight for Tally and you guys are nearly right behind that. They say it may be a Cat 4 by landfall late today.

Sure hope it loses strength fast. This bitch is a fast moving storm... fast movers do weaken faster than slow movers when they hit landfall. Slow movers are the most destructive storms by far. Fast movers do tend to bring bigger wind gusts though because you really should add the storms movement speed to the wind speed for a true total but they don't do that. All hurricanes suck... but a fast one is the lesser of the two evils.

Check in when you can my Brudda!

Yeah, a saving grace when a storm is 200 miles wide. Good thing is we haven’t got a lot of rain before it gets here. The poor people an hour west of here have had a deluge. That’s not a good combination.

Be safe all. Life over property but I hope both make it out ok.
Yeah, some poor bastards down on the gulf coast have recently let their insurance lapse because it has gotten so damn expensive. They really need prayers right about now.

I'm living in Asheville now and it's been pouring rain here for 3 days already and then we're going to get another 3 days from Helene.
We're looking at over a foot of rain with the ground already saturated.

Prayers for everybody south of here.

Watch out for some mud slides. That’s too much rain for the mountains.
