Hurricane Helene update.

We have a tornado warning in effect for the next half hour and we just lost our electricity. There is some serious wind going on too. No rain at the moment though.

Hope you make it through this okay. We're just getting rain in NC and it looks like the western part of the state will get the worst of it. We may get rain and wind.

Stay safe my friend

@JohnnyNoir Thank you. Believe it or not your screenshot just showed up. My cell signal is weak and our electricity and Internet are out.
JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M
@Musicman hope it helps
Musicman · 61-69, M
@JohnnyNoir It definitely does. Thank you very much 🙂
Tornado?...oh gosh.

Watching the live footage from down there, it's getting rough.
In some parts, agencies told people sheltering in-place to write their name and DOB on their arms and legs....in case.

Hope you guys are out of the direct path, and okay.

🙏

@SethGreene531 I agree. I personally feel they made a very poor decision. They are definitely lucky to be alive. God definitely watched over them.

I am watching the news, and it looks like you are experiencing the outer edges of the storm.

@Musicman It's moving at 16 mph. I can't seem to find the distance between Tampa Bay and Big Bend...but they lost power in Tampa Bay at 4 pm. I am going to guess it will hit Big Bend by 9 pm. and will make landfall there in a really horrible way around midnight.

@4meAndyou We still have the wind and rain here.

@Musicman Well, at least it is moving north. But it is a HUGE storm!
Piper · 61-69, F
There has been some serious wind going on here too, for a few hours now. Also tornado warnings, but I am seeing conflicting reports about whether there any currently active ones for your county...or mine.

@Piper We just had one touch down in our area about a half hour ago. Fortunately we are fine, but our electricity is out.
Piper · 61-69, F
@Musicman Good to know that you are fine, and have that lovely motorhome...with power.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Piper As soon as the storm passes we are heading out to the RV. We have been without electricity for an hour and a half now.

@Coldplay Thank you 😊
Florida has been through more than a category 4 before, but it's rare. And it all depends on path and also the amount of time endured. Recent hurricanes that stall and deliver rain measured in feet has the national hurricane centre reexaming how they measure. Be safe, if you are staying have non perishables with you. Once you decide to stay you have only so many choices.

Hope you're okay.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@StarLily Yes we are. We were blessed with no damage at all.
StarLily · 51-55, F
@Musicman Oh, thank goodness.
Confined · 56-60, M
Morning. Status report?
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Confined Sorry for the delay. We made out great! No damage at all 🙂
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Justmeraeagain Thank you very much 🙂

@OldBrit Thank you very much. It's 4:17 am now and the storm is well past us now. Our electricity is back on now too.
JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M
How are things? Hope you're well out of it by now and things are improving
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
Are you okay now
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Jenny1234 @JohnnyNoir @carpediem The storm has passed. We are healthy and safe. Our property didn't have any damage. We were truly blessed. There was limited flooding in our area. One RV park on the Myakka river flooded bad and was under water. I felt so bad for them. We lost electricity for 10 hours. Florida Power and Light says everyone in our area should have their power restored by Sunday night.

Please stay safe
Hopefully You and the Mrs are safe and moved everything to the RV.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@NativePortlander1970 Not yet. The wind and rain is to strong right now. We have to let everything pass first.
