Here's Sally

 Hurricane Sally is here.

 


Looks like Macon is getting dumped on at the moment.  I suspect there will be some flash flooding there.

The areas downstream will probably flood, too, because water flows downhill, so the coastal plain gets both the rain from the storm and the rain runoff from upstream.

As for me, though, I'm fine.  Just the usual heavy rain.  No winds powerful enough to do any damage.  The northern part of the state is pretty immune from hurricane damage due to being so far inland and at a higher elevation.  By the time a storm gets here, it's already lost a lot of energy.  So don't worry about me.  Worst case scenario is a few low-lying areas experience flash-flooding, and I'm not in a low-lying area.

Best wishes, though, to everyone affected.  Y'all stay as safe as you can, and watch out for each other.

  1. Man, the Gulf has been pounded severely this year. Glad you're in GA. We got some heavy rain too.

    1. Yeah, it looks like Pensacola and Mobile got hit pretty hard. Once it came inland, though, it blew through pretty quickly. It's just sprinkling here right now.
