But I'm wondering how many will topple come Friday and Saturday.
As hurricane Ian is hammering Florida, remember the folks in your prayers. As it travels up the coast through parts of Georgia and South Carolina, the remnants will hit us on Friday. They say about six inches of rain in a short period of time with flash-flood warnings expected and lots and lots of wind. It's already windy here and the winds are expected to increase by Friday. Do you know what a lot of rain and wind do to trees? With the saturated ground and the rocking of the trunks back and forth from the wind - it means downed trees on power lines, homes, cars, etc. Batten down the hatches and go below!!!
@corinnec Thank you, Corinne. We do have some weather people that just love to sensationalize and politicize the weather forecast - when people just need the facts - not to be scared to death. I don't like those kind.
@k9photo Thanks, Kate. My favorite weatherman, John Farley, who is a no nonsense weatherman, says it will hit SC as a category 1 or tropical storm. Said some of us in the midlands will see six inches and winds 30 to 40 mph, but out of here by Saturday.
Hope you stay safe! The destruction Fiona left on our East Coast was heartbreaking. Homes swept out to sea, rows of 100+ year old trees toppled. Storms ain’t what they used to be…
@ljmanning I saw some footage on the news about that. It's hurricane season. Never know where one will hit or how far it will travel. We'll do our best to stay safe.
@lindasees Thank you, Linda.
@wakelys Thank you, Susan. We'll just have faith that it will be. =)
@koalagardens Thank you! We will try.

@larrysphotos It will probably downgrade to a tropical storm.
@cdcook48 Thank you, Chris.
