This shit is really bad. Water up to roofs on homes already on 10ft+ stilts.
I'll tell you in advanced, there will be lots of 'finding' and 'scavenging' after this clears.

Don't... uh, don't go looking for the trees. They're just "resting". We trust you.

Lol, I'm not that stupid. They're loud when they crack. I would guess it's more tall pines. My buddy has trees down all in his neighborhood he said.

Its crazy that is has kept up this much strength that far inland. I have read that some forecasters are thinking it may keep 'cane status all the way back out into the Atlantic potentially.

thats crazy. i find it so hard to believe, but i guess it's possible. I don't know enough about the science other than hurricanes tend to severely dissipate quickly once making landfall
thats absurd! I got married like 60-90 minutes from there! cant imagine how that place is holding up

Well, I am glad that is over. My service is super spotty right now. It completely knocked it out when I posted my last comment and now has returned this morning.
There's trees down, powerlines down, trees on houses and mobile homes. I gotta say I feel lucky as the street I live on was spared from anything like that. Also, while it was bad I also feel lucky that the eye just went East of here. If this thing would have made landfall just a tad west of PC, there would have been much worse destruction than this as it would have came right over us. Just down the road in Marianna I hear it is like a war zone.
There's no telling when the power is coming back on. They've had helicopters flying around this morning assessing everything. On the bright side, temps are going to get down in the 50's tonight. It was hot as hell last night so I can let the windows up tonight.
And one last thing, holy hell at Panama City. I can not believe what has happened there. It's hard to imagine just that type of destruction. Has there been any footage of Mexico Beach? My friend's mom has a condo down there.
Good luck to everybody still in its path. I know it's down to TS status, but this storm has been no joke.
He made it, lol. He tried to drive toward Marianna, but he couldn't get through cause trees were down blocking roads. He then drove to Donalsonville, Georgia and that's where he got in the eye. I told him straight up he was an absolute moron.

Well that chaser vid i posted earlier is from Mexico Beach. He lived, and is safe and stuck there though, as his wife reported on Facebook. But yeah, Mexico Beach is pretty much gone. I’d imagine her condo is either damaged beyond repair or no longer standing.

i feel so guilty following along with these storms watching from a far, and yet these folks who had something/nothing are now left with even less
where do you even begin. sure i can move some of the wreckage to look for my belongings, but im just moving the same pile of rubbish to a different place. its still gonna be a mess, just 10 feet over. they need some serious help
stayed pretty south of atlanta it seems

Goodness. I hope everyone in that area was able to evacuate safely. Heartbreaking that they lost their homes.

My family in Callaway lost homes, but got out right before. That storm blew up fast, even already flew through here in NC too knocking out my power worse than Florence. Over 600k without power in NC.

Man today felt amazing, like the first day of fall for real! It’s been unseasonably hot in Atlanta but since the hurricane the weather has been wonderful

I’m sad that this thread is so inactive, compared to others. But this really irks me about this storm.
I don’t like Fox, but at least they know what the priorities should be.
Yet CNN has this crap.
Both homepages are as of 12:30am eastern on 10/12. Not to be political in a thread that should be devoid of it, but if you want to know why Americans of differing political beliefs live in different worlds - this is why.
...
Not to be missed but here is NOAA satellite imagery of the aftermath

Yeah, I almost cried at some of the images I saw.
It's just awful. And Deep Enigma is right. Glad they evacuated from that.

I think Fall just hit us in the face today in NYC. It just got cold and here I am out here in a tshirt.
It's weird how all the way up here we feel the remnants of that storm with the heavy rain, and now winds. Time to get ready for winter.

I’m still shook over seeing that stream. I posted it here after the fact... but yeah, that was a scary moment for a weather nerd like me.

Got my power back on.
My internet, cable and phone are still out. I called the radio station to find out if they have heard anything cause I can not find anything. They told me that it may be a while until we get that back on because the infrastructure for this area is based out of Panama City.
Sucks, but I can't complain given what others have gone through. At least I have power now. My brother is still without power and running a generator.
OMG, the place is almost certainly destroyed. Unbelievable.

I am back in business baby! My cable, internet and phone have all been restored. I have no idea what they did, but I'm very thankful for them and all these power crews working their butts off all day and night to get everything restored. My brother is still without power, unfortunately. But I don't think it will be too much longer.
It looks like an atomic bomb went off. That is so crazy to see.
I actually have really good news regarding my friend's mom's condo in Mexico Beach. I talked to him yesterday and It didn't get destroyed. One of the very lucky few.
