Busy doing some cleanup and, given power is out in a lot of Savannah, doing some power management stuff since one of the solar panel strings is offline. But I did want to post this from NHC, showing their wind swath, which does not show hurricane force winds in Coastal Georgia … 😛
I’m interested to find out about confirmed tornados. A friend said Savannah Station got hit by one and my neighborhood is more of a mess than it was after Matthew, so I was curious if any had been confirmed for the Savannah/Pooler areas.
Thank you for all the great information you give us, and how generous with your time you are in doing so, as always!
If anything I think people didn’t realize the potential impacts of the storm swath. It was huge. Having said that your predictions were pretty spot on as usual.
Thanks for keeping us posted. ‼️
I drove through central Georgia this evening. They definitely saw stronger winds than we did in Savannah. The tree damage around Soperton is unbelievable.
Thanks for all of your updates. It’s so nice to have a voice of reason while everyone else is running around yelling “the sky is falling!” I guess all of the weather people on the local news can’t be happy unless they’re scaring people half to death. Does that really help anyone?
Ok, I’m curious. All of this is anecdotal and I’m trying to apply some rigor to it. The above picture is the sustained wind speeds experienced during this storm. Anecdotally we have had TS level winds in the Savannah region in the past couple years that did not cause near this level of tree damage or power outages. So what was different? Was it the gusts were higher than we usually see for this level of sustained? Was it the winds stayed at those sustained speeds for a longer period of time? Or was it something that I’m not considering?
