This thing was a monster. You've seen the footage. I mean even here on the beach what little we got was scary at times. But further inland it was a disaster. 👀 I believe that hurricane Helene was worse than Katrina. 100 dead already. And counting. This storm hit the Appalachian Mountains. It was just bad. Have you or your family been affected by this thing. Comments. 😑

We had major wind, lots of trees and branches down, damage to buildings, widespread power and internet outages. Definitely worse inland than on the coast where I am. The storm’s rapid intensification from category 2 to 4 right before landfall was unexpected. The water in the Gulf of Mexico was unusually warm which contributed to that.
@Zonuss That's what they're saying. Possibly the worst storm to hit Georgia, ever. I'm impressed with how fast Georgia Power turned the electricity back on. They used AI to pre-position repair teams where they would be most effective, and used drones to survey power lines. Our power went out early Friday morning and was back on by Sunday. Of course, it's still out for many people.
