The rain from Sally has started in Atlanta

They're saying we can expect up to 8 inches of rain where I live. I hope not. If it comes down in too short a time, I'm concerned about our basement.

I did the grocery shopping at 7 this morning so I won't need to go out for a few days. Tomorrow, Thursday, is supposed to be the heaviest rain day here.

We are still dry north of the city. Getting spit on though and the landscapers have been out all morning clearing out the surrounding area for any shrubbery that may fall into the roadways.

I have already placed my out of office image for my coworkers for the next two days...

@gidgetgh, I hate to disappoint you, but it has to move up the state of Alabama before it makes it way to GA, the Gulf Coast of AL and Panhandle of FL are getting beat!

@Hooty @Yes, I understand where the storm is coming from, I'm pretty good, actually really good with geography, but the fact remains that rain has started here. Feeder bands maybe or just regular rain, I don't know, but it IS raining. Of that I'm certain.

One of our local meteorologists posted on Facebook a few minutes ago and asked if anyone had a headache, as our barometric pressure is dropping. I have a headache, which started about 45 minutes ago.

Stay safe @Hooty

Raining in Marietta (Atlanta suburb just a few miles north of the city), punctuated by wind gusts, which were already blowing late last night.

The state of Oregon is gathering up a collection. We will take 6" today and the next day and the next for a start please.

Sorry you are getting way to much along with wind. We have no way to put our fires out. Life is not fair is it?

@SouthernBee -it is still pouring. I'm really nervous to look in our basement when I venture down to it in a few hours.

It's still a steady rain up in Woodstock, some heavier than last night but not bad.

There is water in our basement. It didn't flood in from the back where it flooded in 2009, and it isn't a ton of water at all, but it seems to have come down the foundation wall at the front of our house. I could absolutely cry. I swear, I can't handle one more thing. And I mean that.
