The center moving further east than modeled and going right over this area really made it much worse than anybody expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamblinRed Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Atlanta Journal Consitution has an interactive map that shows how many customers (and what percentage that is) are without power in every county in GA. https://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-news/georgia-statewide-power-outage-map-see-outages-by-county-hurricane-helene-updates/KYWHZWRE3RAWLPDF6QOLWLVHUQ/ The worst among the more populated counties are Richmond County (Augusta) where 93.79% of customers have no power - 95,490 customers. Lowndes County (Valdosta) - 99.27% - 32,023 Customers without power. Chatham County (Savannah) - 69.82% - 114,837 without power. In the metro Atlanta counties roughly 120K customers are without power - so GA really dodged a bullet in terms of Helene basically taking a path through the state that mostly had the center of the storm traversing over mostly lightly populated areas.

Lots of trees down and roads closed due to flooding and fallen trees. Outside the main campus and downtown businesses most everyone is lights out. Probably similar to Greenville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Got a friend in Boone, NC. Still more rain to go. I'm not sure how accurate my radar grabs are. Out of three they all have different totals. I'll go with the average and say close to 8inches so far? I see some posts of 30inches in some places. In a mountainous area, that's just insane. Prayers out to those in the valleys.

WxWatcher007 Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 Getting back on the grid. Thinking of the folks still in harms way up north. I will get some storm videos up later but here’s the damage survey around Perry. It's significant to extensive in spots, but could’ve been a lot worse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Excellent overall forecast for Hurricane Helene...exact locale and 50 minutes too late. Precise timing of the Rapid intensification window from early Thursday AM through landfall late evening. Really only flaw was being 15mph too conservative on max winds at landfall.

Accordingto the NHC areas near landfall got 15'. “Preliminary post-landfall modeling of storm surge from Hurricane #Helene indicates areas within the Big Bend region of Florida near Keaton Beach, Steinhatchee, and Horseshoe Beach had water levels reach more than 15 ft above ground level,” the Hurricane Center tweeted. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
