We are fine here and the sun is trying to come out. The tornado warnings around here have been canceled, but there are some off to the east of us. But I haven't heard of any actual tornadoes in NC.

Oh, so less than a hour west of them. They just bought a house in Rincon GA in August. They wanted to be in Pooler but couldn’t find anything that met their needs in their price range. Their back corner of their backyard has water so now they know the low spot.
They lost power at 2am and just got it back about 1:15pm. Still no internet tho. She’s a remote worker so by Mon they should be fine.

Glad you’re ok. I noticed the eastward slide and wondered if it would affect us. But not really because it was so far north at that point.
My daughter and her boyfriend landed in Atlanta at 9:30am. It wasn’t as bad as they expected. They arrived in Dothan about 15 minutes ago. They’ve been up for over 28 hours. Super exhausted and will sleep now.
Tomorrow they’ll go to Panama City Beach where she lives. PCB had higher water in the bay but nothing else to worry about that she was aware of. That shift east helped.
I'm in Louisville, Kentucky, and the remnants have been stuck on top of us all day. It's not pouring, but it's been an annoyingly steady rain fiasco. The wind gusts have been making the power go on and off, and it's overall just a soggy, gloomy mess.
The big Louder Than Life music festival is supposed to be going on here in town right now, and as of right now it's delayed indefinitely due to the high winds - they cant risk the stages and equipment being blown over and causing injuries or deaths. I feel bad for everyone who bought the weekend passes and/or are camping at the fairgrounds for it....doesn't look like it's going to happen today or tomorrow, honestly. And if it does, I can't even imagine what a sloppy, muddy nightmare it would be to attend...I went last year and it was a blast, but I'm not about to be smashed up against thousands of other people drenched in that lovely concoction of rain, sweat, mud and god only knows what else.

Good on Bethany!!!! I have had mixed feelings about her throughout the years. I follow horse racing- her biological father was a great trainer who died 15 years ago from Leukemia - Her parents were divorced so I think there was a very strained relationship with her father. Her mother remarried and she has never acknowledged her biological father- -- I am not even sure she went to his death bed-- She always seemed spoiled and self indulgent and I am surprised that she has come through for needy people at this time. She has made a good life for herself and I am glad to know that she has become a caring person.

More than 50 people are awaiting rescue on the roof of an Erwin, Tennessee, hospital after dangerous flooding brought on by Tropical Storm Helene forced their evacuation.
Staff and the 11 patients at Unicoi County Hospital were evacuated Friday morning because of "unusually high and rising water from the Nolichucky River," Ballad Health, which owns the hospital, wrote on social media.
