Sorry! It's been a long day (and I may have been having an after work drink) and thought that Georgia was further inlandEverybody always forgets us here on the Georgia coast...
Forecast has worsened for us. Monday shows 60-80mph sustained unless this thing turns. I've been through Hugo, Floyd and Matthew and none are scaring me like this one is.
Stay safe!!!Edited, since the original post said 'George'. That after work drink seemed to have hit me harder than I thought it would.

Just taking a wait and see approach right now. Thanks, it is beautiful here. After Matthew, much of the area was in shambles. And that was a weak cat 1 that just brushed us! I'm praying as well that this thing turns and doesn't affect us or anyone else like it has affected the islands so far.

There is a topic "Do you still feel loyal to Disney". When I read this it makes my loyalty wane a bit

I live in Macon,GA so haven't forgot about you at all. (Currently have a son in Orlando for training however) Fortunately though the GA East coast is relatively lucky historically when it comes to hurricanes. Here's hoping that trend continues.Everybody always forgets us here on the Georgia coast...

Yeah we have been lucky historically. Last year was a wake up call. Being tucked in on the coast has saved our bacon before, but all models are converging on us now. Hope your son is well down there!

i saw 2 big trucks hauling at&t generators heading south on 75 toward Florida. Maybe thats what they are for?
Honest question, why?
Hopefully.
Just for laughs - and in case I needed to leave - I tried checking hotels between Tallahassee and Atlanta, places like Tifton, Valdosta, Bainbridge. There are none available. And I've got a cat I'm not leaving behind...
Keep moving east, Irma. Florida doesn't want you..

If they are the ones the size of a Smart Car they will be used to power cell towers. The ones used to back up central offices are semi trailer sized

I'm hoping we're safe here in Tally. If Irma stays east coast the only thing I'm really worried about is losing power & if we do, how long it will be out for... Hermine was only a tropical storm last year and places were without power for nearly 2 weeks.

I'm at the dvc thing at dak tonight and I'm in line for rivers of light and there is nothing quite like having that music pounding from a speaker just feet away while looking at the map of this storm. I'm really wishing I'd moved back north last year!!

They will probably be used to power towers and are probably being staged to bring to the areas once the storm is past. The hardest part in the weeks after Hurricane Katrina was the inability to communicate. The towers were either damaged, flooded, or unable to handle the amount of calls. Even the police, fire, and EMS had no way of communicating. First order of business in the parish my brother lives in was to get a cell tower up. My brother and others were sent on a mission to obtain propane to fuel the generators, even if it meant breaking into a business. My landline could receive calls but not make outgoing calls. My neighbor who was evacuated would call, we would run across the street and get her husband so they could talk. It was truly a dark time for us....

I would assume you could do that in 3.5 hours.
