I dread dawn tomorrow .. Zeta.

[DemoTex]

I’m on the Blue Ridge escarpment, at 3200 feet. Totally exposed to the dirty side of Zeta. It will be at its worst, here, between 6 am and 9 am.

But I have my wilderness fire lookout gear. Honda 2Kw generator, Goal Zero lithium ion power pack (1500 w-hour), multiple head-lamps and flashlights, candles, and a propane cooktop.

I’ll check in tomorrow morning. I hope.

8. Roughly where?

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Sounds like he's north of Greenville, South Carolina

near the border with NC. They are due to get some 30+ MPH winds. I'm about 250 miles SE of that area, and we're looking at 40+ MPH with some nasty storms. Going to hit here in the 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM range.

[unc70]

16. I'm further east in NC

Our main wind warnings are from roughly sunup to sundown, 30 knots with gusts to 50-65. We then sent the wind and north to DC and beyond.

[Ilsa]

18. 60 mph gusts for Atlanta, is what I heard at noon.

I hope you've got everything tied down.

Maybe wake up early, make a thermos of coffee and breakfast.

I wish I knew the location of your site so I could follow it on weather radar app, etc. The What3Words app can give a location within about 6-9 feet. Best of luck to you.

37. Hi, neighbor.

I'm in Gilmer County, at the foot of Fort Mountain. Dreading the hurricane and remembering Hurricane Opal several years ago. I hope we can be spared a repeat of that disaster.

[LuvNewcastle]

30. If it passes through as fast as it did here,

you'll have to deal with about one and a half hours of the rough weather. It was a little scary for a while; the wind blew in 5 of the windows here in the hospital. I thought a few times that mine might blow in, but it held. It sounded like I was going through a car wash. They're saying on the news now that there's a lot of roof damage and a lot of power outages due to fallen trees. Some of this damage is going to take a while to repair. I hope that it loses a lot of its strength by the time it gets to you. Best of luck!

[mountain grammy]

31. Be safe.

[barbtries]

32. hope you get through unscathed.

[FailureToCommunicate]

41. Looking forward to a safe report from you mid morning. Good luck.

[Warpy]

42. With any luck, it will hsve lost enough oomph to be another bad gale.

I'm just wondering how they did in Biloxi and Mobile. I've seen reports from NOLA, but that's all.

[cwydro]

44. Getting quite windy here in the piedmont of NC.

Wind advisory issued.
