re: Y'all think we need an Irma watch thread?

We were in the NE quadrant CG ... we got nailed over this way too. I had to come home early from Vegas because AA warned us we may get delayed otherwise. We got home just before it hit and one of the spiral arms of the storm moved over us for about three hours. Lost part of the roof on the guest house and a bunch of trees. Was without power for 14 hrs. Trees across the roads everywhere. Twenty miles west towards Columbia they got a little rain and wind but nothing like we got over here towards Augusta. I called the club this morning and they took some tree damage, and then over towards Edgefield and Johnston they had some bad winds and heavy rain ... but back over towards Ridge Spring and Monetta they hardly got anything but Batesburg-Leesville got hammered and was without power for eight hours downtown.

It all just depended on if you got caught under one of those spiral arms or not.

Sure was a massive storm though that the center of it passed over Atlanta and at the same time it was pounding us way over here to the east.
