Anyone in the path of Hurricane Helene?

What is your situation?
I’m way east of the eye, so I’m not worried. I’m hoping (for me) that it doesn’t shift east. Tomorrow I expect some rain and maybe at worst category 1 sustained winds, but I seriously doubt it will get that bad where I live, we’ll see.
I’m nervous for the people in the storm’s direct path. I know at least one county the whole county was ordered to evacuate. I don’t remember that ever happening before, but maybe in that part of Florida it has? Usually, we are ordered to evacuate if we are near the shore and asked to stay in county. I assume other counties do have shoreline evacuations, I honestly have not paid close attention, because I would never be evacuated and I have just been checking the 5:00 and 11:00 updates, but now I will be checking more often.
Tomorrow will be a long day mostly waiting for bands to come through.

Bout 15 miles inland from Charleston SC.
I forgot to take my mother’s hanging plants down. I have to do that again…
I’ll have to move a bunch of potted plants inside the porch too.
I’m fairly certain this will flood the coastal areas. I doubt we flood where I am, this time.
There were more tornadoes than usual, last storm. Fucking Arby’s is still closed…
They day this one should have more too. Otherwise, I expect rain bands, and gusts. Shouldn’t be too bad.
This is how my third flood happened. The storm came from inland and swung around and that sucked the ocean in, just from the storm being close to the ocean.
Am I in the path?
Only if someone changes the maps prediction with a sharpie.
Yep, supposed to come right over Atlanta or a titch to the east of town. We’re right in the path. The hope is that by the time it hits North Georgia, the winds will have died down a little.
We are on the fringe. We’ll get some rain and probably a little wind. Nothing truly threatening. Thank goodness I got my yard mowed yesterday!
Looks like we’ll get a rainy weekend out of it which is much needed.
It’s pouring here today and will rain again tomorrow, but I know this is not Helene (yet).
The storm surge, will be the worst of it. Obviously it will be the worst on the northeast side of the storm.
It’s wild how these storms come, and go. But we only know for sure where it goes after it’s gone. That’s saved me, and screwed me in the past many times. The ol’ last second shimmy, those storms take…
They used to only give hurricanes female names, and only a few decades ago started using male names.
The public opinion, here, is that the storms were named after women, because of their unpredictable nature. Well. The public opinions of some older people here…
True or not, that always amused me.
Technically yes, though it has already passed. It hit Quintana Roo harder and it was mostly just rain where I am.
After a lifetime of living in an area with no real weather, the Atlantic Hurricane Season is now something I pay close attention to. We’ve had several pass through here this year.
@JLeslie 54 alerts in my county – winds, severe storms, flooding… and so on.
@elbanditoroso 54 in one county? How do you get these alerts? I’m not even sure what that means.
sorry that was supposed to 4 (four)

Oh. Ha! That makes more sense.
2 out of 5 chance of isolated tornadoes tomorrow (Friday 9/27). Up to 3 inches of rain forcasted.
Starting to get breezy here with some stronger gusts. Still fine to go outside to give you an idea of what it’s like.
I’m following this Q since I have a sister that lives near Augusta, GA. I’m guessing lots of rain for her?
