All these people asking about specific areas should get to know their neighbors that have weathered past storms.

It’s a great icebreaker that could lead to a long lasting friendship as well as learning how your area handles major storms. 👍🏻

We are in Moultrie Ga. We're 60 miles north of Tallahassee. We are under a hurricane warning. I'm hoping it doesn't get as bad as they're predicting I believe we're going to take a fairly direct hit.

Brooksville FL here!
Cloudy skies light drizzle 3:35PM.
We are expected to be lashed by Helene’s outer eastern bands. My manufactured home can only withstand <65 MPH wind.

We are 30 miles east of downtown Tallahassee. Weather people never mention Monticello even when hurricanes have been in direct path. I wonder if we are not on any hurricane maps.

If it stays on track of hitting Tallahassee, what could 30 miles east or west expect of eye expect?

You are the

[Gordon-oi]

Speak about how long it will take to restore power or even to get help at all with its massive size of damage. That means DONT STAY in florida. They will have to deal with the inlands, then the metro cites, all before south florida gets help so
