Thanks John.I dont need to watch the tv on it just go to town and watch the amount of cars pick up..US 341 is a evac rt,so it gets busy as hell if they think that the Ga coast is going to get hit. The also open the Aga Center as a Massive Shelter.

The GEMA/State EOC (Emergency Operations Center) will activate tomorrow along with Red Cross volunteers and start putting our emergency plan into action. Frances is probably going to bring us some bad weather, we have planning meetings all day tomorrow and Thursday plus lots of comms gear to get set up and pointed in the right directions. Fill up vehicles, generators and what nots and be ready. Latest path/track has it coming inland around Jacksonville but could vary.

If you have short wave radios you can listen to the hurricane watch net on 14.325mhz. I have a feeling they'll be activating tomorrow sometime.

The last track I saw on it had it coming right through my town, Folkston, down here in the SE corner. I will be here to ride it out if it comes our way. I have a five day weekend starting Thursday so I can be sure I have everything ready. So much for a sunny, fishing on the river, short vacation.

Menroid they've changed the track a bit further South, looks like Cape Canaveral but like I said in my earlier post the track is adjustable(wrong) by 275-325 miles. Just keep your eye's open and listen to NOAA radio, keep your head down if you're gonna ride it out bud. Good luck

jharvey,
Thanks for the good info and advice! And be careful out there-
I'll take a look at my generator - used it only occasionally since Hurricane Fran.

A a piece of my family lives in fort pierce, Fla. and the storm has been headed straight for them. my father tried to convince them to come up here to atlanta, but instead they just went to the west to the gulf side. now theyre stuck there b/c of the clogged roads. i hope the house can take it. its a well built one.

Let's just pray that everyone made it out of that storm safe and sound. And pray that it doesn't head our way after it hits the west coast. Prayers are with all those in Florida and South GA!

I only had a few limbs come out of some trees, nothing major. My brother in law is the road supervisor for the county. He has been working everyday 18 hours a day since Friday. The rains have just quit this morning. We have a lot of dirt roads in the county and all have bad washouts and flooding. Traffic has been pretty steady with everyone heading back to Florida. We have been lucky not to get anything worse.
