Expecting severe weather overnight

gidgetgh — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 23:24:56 GMT

Ok, I admit it, I'm very nervous.

The hurricane is going to come through North Georgia as a tropical storm overnight. Wind gusts in my area 60-70 mph. 2-6 inches of rain. Starting at around 2 AM. (Of course). They are expecting power outages and downed trees.

I have a brand new roof, not really tested yet and another roof corner board and siding repair to fix another leak, just completed last Friday.

Two major leaks and damage in the house from these issues. Part of dining room and laundry room walls are still torn out, waiting for repairs after we get a few good rains to make sure nothing leaks.

I am on pins and needles. We have already had rain. 6 inches in a short amount of time could flood the basement.

It is going to be a long night.

@gidgetgh Yes it is going to be a windy night here. I hope it doesn't do too much damage. I have a tree in my front yard that I need to take down just waiting to save up the money. For me $1500 is a lot of money.

I'm about 2 hours north of you and expecting the same @gidgetgh. Local news said widespread power outages that may be lengthy.

No power, no water. Taking precautions just in case the weather people are accurate (for a change).

Waving from N AL. Supposed to get kinda stormy here too and then clear out by morning, but the schools are delaying 2-3 hours anyways.

I'm in North GA also. Just got through getting everything off the front porch and back patio. Expecting high winds and lots of rain here. Hope everyone is ok in the path of this storm. Who would have thought that almost the very end of October and a tropical stom is headed our way? We left the coast, Wilmington Island Ga in 2018 to escape hurricanes.

Egads ladies. I understand your fears and worries. Been there, done that and probably will go through it again. Here's hoping and praying the storm isn't all they are cracking it up to be and you both, and everyone else in it's path skates through with no outages and no damages. Please update tomorrow and let us know how you made out.

Believe it or not, but remnants of this hurricane are reaching all the way up to us in St. Louis. No strong winds are in the forecast - just a lot of rain. I so hope that you and your family will be okay with no damage to your home as well.

@gidgetgh I'm in VA and we will get rain and wind with rain about 11 a m and wind starting about 5. It won't be as bad as further South. I have relatives in Chatsworth, North Ga. hope all are safe!
We are accustomed to hurricanes coming from the coast not from the gulf.
Prayers for everyone in the storm, take care!

🙏🏼

@gidgetgh, you have been through so much lately. I hope the bad weather does not impact your house....no flooding in the basement, the new roof holds, and other areas don't present any leaks or problems. Hoping you all keep your power.

It has to be a challenge to go through the major work you are having to do on the house not long after losing your husband. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
