Vicious Fluid Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Franklin. It's beautiful! I assume you have taken 64 from highlands to Franklin through the gorge? 107 to Cashiers is a fun drive as wellI love Franklin, it’s absolutely gorgeous in the fall and springtime! My mother and youngest brother live there and I visit quite often (especially for chasing snow, since I’m just outside of Atlanta where we rarely see white winters). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicious Fluid Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I am severely disappointed that I don’t have my rig set up yet considering we’re about to get some extreme weather up near this area. Would’ve been nice to get some readings during the storm. I’m NE of Atlanta in Gwinnett County, where we may end up having a run at the degenerated eye after LF. I’ve been watching it for a few days ever since we ended up in the NHC forecast cone, and folks around here haven’t been taking it too seriously. We’ve had days of never ending rain prior to this event, and the local rivers and streams are already at max. Gonna be a lot of water damage/fallen trees in the next day or so, especially since this area was developed in the late 90’s when planting white pines was popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
