TheMaximumHornetSting Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Powers out in the Panhandle and All over South GA&AL..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCBlackhatter Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I just got enough cell service to get online. We are safe and sound, but will be without power for awhile. Going to fire the ole camper up now that the storm has died down a little. A quick damage assessment with flash lights shows several trees down and a couple are blocking the road in front of my house and power lines down across the drive way. My neighbor's roof is flapping around right now. I have a feeling that it will be much worse once the sun comes up. Hope everyone else in the area is safe. This is definitely the worst storm I've personally encountered. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colquitt County Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Back above ground, power out but other than limbs on the ground I don't see any damages, but it's dark maybe daylight will reveal more. Got generator started and fan on Ms Mary so maybe she can get some rest before we wake up to 3 kids, 4 grandkids, pets and a son-in-law who came to get underground with Mom and me. The pic above may not be Michael but it's still a beautiful picture, and I agree who ever took it, sack swangs real low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 We survived out my way too. No power (outside my generator). No cell service. Shingles blown off the roof in places lots of limbs down and my antenna tower barely standing. Had to drive into town to check on my mom and finally saw a little section of town with power. Two gas stations and the home improvement stores with power that I saw so far. All in all it doesn't look too bad on my end. I saw quite a bit of tree damage and detached carports blown over and some roofs off. Anyway, just the little sliver that I've seen so far. Gonna go check on more friends and family now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man the Pecan Orchard in Tifton and Omega is fucked beyond belief... Pine trees down everywhere some places have power and some places don't... but gas was sold out everywhere...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Diablo fault is long due for a big one last big one was a 7.9 in the late 1800s... It produces a bug one every 40 to 100 years and we're well past due... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
