Terrible destruction from Helene playing out. I feel pity for those in the path.

Meanwhile, 63° and beautiful here. Dry air heats up easily so 89° for the high today and all sunshine. Similar weather conditions for the next few days here.

It's started raining here in the last 10 min.; the walks and everything was wet, from the dew and the fog earlier, and I went out to get an Amazon package, and it wasn't raining yet, but it's finally started now. I'll see if it registers on the rain gauge. Every day is about the same - cloudy, humid, with scattered showers, getting a little cooler in a few days.

95% of customers without power in Richmond county GA where Augusta is located. Hope @GoDawgs is okay.

Only small debris and a couple of roof shingles to clean up for me.
Noisy as all hell overnight. Power went out at midnight and came back at about 8:15, so not bad.

Many trees down though, and many affected worse than I was.

@GoDawgs area was hit hard. Serious wind damage and a lot of deaths in Georgia due to trees crashing down. :(
Hope you are safe, and generator working, and staying put until they come to repair the power lines.

@friedgreen51 They're saying that the rain you got before Helene was a 'thousand year' event... oh, wow.
Hope you're high and dry and not having to evacuate or go anywhere until the water subsides.

Absolutely gorgeous weather here, aiming for a top of 24C/75F today. A bit of rain forecast overnight, most likely around quarter of an inch with scattered showers for the next couple of days.
