Tuesday night a line of strong storms was moving into Georgia, and it looked like we would get a lot of it here. Around 7 pm it got windy.
These are the trees behind our house. They are pretty tall, and they were whipping around dramatically.
This is what my phone’s weather app showed for the radar at 7:00.
The pushpin is right at our house on the mountain. The blue boxes are storm warnings. Here is what it looked like at 8:30 when the line was almost on us.
The heaviest rain has already split to pass around us. By 8:55 we were getting fairly heavy rain, but not the heaviest.
It was all over here by 10:15, although it looked like we would get at least some additional light rain. We didn’t.
We got about 0.96 inches of rain, enough to help, but not as much as we needed. Others got significantly more.
Looks like a pretty good storm and quite a bit of wind. We get a lot of wind here off the coast, but it’s not stormy, just persistent.
Robin — This line of storms was worse in other places. It looked threatening for a while here, but eventually turned to just a little rain. Coastal areas are usually good for wind power with more consistent winds. We don’t have windy weather very often, and it’s usually associated with frontal systems or thunderstorms.
