No break in sight for me, I am above I - 20. In the csra area

I have a brother in Seminole, Fla., and just talked to him. He lives in a condo within view of the Intracoastal Waterway.
He said there were winds of 52 MPH a little while ago and he sat out on the balcony watching the heavy rain and wind. He is either very brave or very stupid, lol. I guess he likes to live dangerously in his senior years.

My Dh and I are like that also. We love watching the storms, of course at a safe distance. For me it's just exhilarating observing Mother Nature and have always been drawn to it. Hate seeing the devastation and loss of lives as we all do.

Thankfully, Andrea has come and gone with minimal destruction to Fl.

Last check in for me..Still raining some is pretty heavy. I may need my boat in the am to get to work...lol

totals of up to 2 inches are expected over portions of eastern
georgia and south carolina through late friday morning which could
bring storm total amounts up to 6 inches across those areas.

Storm surge...the combination of storm surge and the tide will cause
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters.
The water could reach the following heights above ground if the
peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

North of altamaha sound to cape charles light...1 to 2 ft

the deepest water will occur along the immediate coast. Surge-
related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and
