I don’t see GA being impacted on the map...
Repairs to our neighbor’s house that was smashed by the September 2017 hurricane aren’t completed yet....Two new houses have been started and completed in that period of time in the neighborhood.
This storm was a major hurricane then became a tropical storm and is supposed to become a Category 4 hurricane later this week.
Originally, the track was supposed to be East and North of Bermuda. Now it is West and South of Bermuda.
Things can change with the path of a hurricane.
Plus, the size of the hurricane may impact a larger area...
Hurricane Camille, in the late 1960's to early 1970's, took up almost the entire Gulf of Mexico with the storm. This storm had gusts up to 200 mph.
You may be totally right about minimal impact to Georgia.
On the other, there may be events cancelled in Georgia this weekend because of the storm...
There was something tonight that the storm may turn SOUTH as it comes ashore. Things are JUST A GUESS AT THIS POINT.
Additionally, the size of the storm may be getting as large as Hurricane Camille did about 40+ years ago (that was a Category 5 storm).
In the case of Camille, it first looked like it would hit Corpus Christi... Then Houston appeared to be the target... Louisiana seemed to be the likely place for it to land ashore.
It ended up hitting the Mississippi (state) coast.
When it finally went ashore, it almost totally filled the Gulf of Mexico as seen from satellite.
Georgia may just get a little rain and wind.
But it still has several days in which it can head to Georgia...
One TV network showed that there are several weather systems/fronts affecting the path of this storm.
By early Thursday morning, we should know if Georgia will be impacted.
Below is an image that changes with NHC/NOAA predictions.
The 'header' at the top of the image says:
Note: The cone contains the probable path of the storm center but does not show the size of the storm.Hazardous conditions can occur outside of the cone.
At this time, most of the NORTHERN part of Georgia is inside the cone...
