Yes Athens Clarke /Oconee county area is fine
We enjoy the Atlanta weather bubble here. I read once where Atlanta and its concrete and heat tends to break up storms going west to east and they reform by the border of the carolinas. I have no idea if that is true but it does feel like we have pretty benign weather here compared to other parts of the state. I cannot recall in my 4 years here a really bad thunderstorm where your windows are lit up with Lightning etc. We have thunder etc but noting terrible

I live in Dallas for 23 years that weather felt like it was the apocalypses sometimes. Lighting, Hail, Tornadoes etc.
One house I lived in 10 years and replaced my roof 3 times due to hail damage....

Go to Athfest without an umbrella in any given year. There's always a warned storm that comes through on Saturday afternoon throwing lighting down on Washington street toward all the stage rigging. I'm surprised it doesn't have its own entry in the Farmer's Almanac.

Our area (Floyd County/Rome) took a pretty good wallop.

We had multiple tornados within 3 miles of our house along the Floyd/Polk county line. WE lost several trees across the driveway and leaning against (but not through, thank goodness) the house and barn.

Could have been a lot worse than it was.

I probably live 100 yards from you, but we good.

I had a storm shelter installed last summer and it gives a lot of peace of mind, but I still didn't sleep much last night.

Brother told me they got close to 8 inches of rain up at Lake Burton.
Lake is up 3 feet.

I saw pics of the Soquee today and it looked like the Mississippi. No joke. Another guy on a GA outdoor forum said his garden rain gauge in Clayton was 7.66.

We got 3.6" of rain in my part of North Alabama yesterday. That's in addition to the 6.6" we got last week. If it ever gets dry enough to get my garden tilled and planted it should have a good start.
