One of my fellow weather nerds (you're a professional, we're proud weather nerds) told me that whatever category it's predicted to be, prepare for one category higher.
Yeah, we'll likely see a category 4 at this point.
It's moving fast, so it's plausible that this may still be a hurricane by the time it reaches the ATL area. At minimum, a strong tropical storm.
I told you guys a hour ago this will happen
Now, they're predicting 65+ mph here tomorrow morning. That's up from 52 - 56.Yeah, we'll likely see a category 4 at this point.

Flooding along the Chattahoochee gonna be crazy. People goin back and forth between ATL and Douglasville gonna feel it on I-20.Yeah, we'll likely see a category 4 at this point.

Six Flags gonna be under water.
In the utilities sector (energy and power companies), we consider 60 mph+ significant for power loss and tree damage.
Those are sustained winds, so they could have higher gusts.
We're finna get that work!
The water system up there is shit...they are doing the right thing. It's about to get tested big time.

Im in the Tallahassee area, storm impacts has us currently being hit at a Cat 3 storm. Everyone is up in arms about the storm, saying things like this could be the worst storm to ever hit, but these same out of towners were not here 5 years ago, when Hurricane Michael slammed us at a cat 5.
We should be safe, prob no power for a few days, bunch of wind/trees.

It's better to be safe than sorry.
Water, generators, and chainsaws flying off shelves.
Mayne them crackas go out there every year on some dumb shit... That's actually not bad... Sometimes the water recedes from the bay in that area and they'll be out on there walking around as if that water can't rush back and get em like the red sea did Ramses
Just heard on the radio they are saying it's right at a cat 4
Yeah, they're saying it'll be a cat 4 by landfall. Ma Nature ain't fucking around!
let em learn.....................see where all that fuckin around gets them......
about to hear quite a few stories tomorrow, full of cac sorrow and cac tears.......of those tryin to ride out a hurricane in a mobile home.
"I called 911 and noone came, everything is gone.....i can't find my cat......oh God,....i dont know where my cat is"
Latest update: 75 - 90 mph by 8am.
Oh damn. This is going to y’all Hurricane Hugo. 1989 is when Hugo hit central NC after making landfall in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was still a hurricane when it came through.
The storm is officially a category 4 with sustained winds at 130 mph.
However, it’s moving rapidly at 23 mph. What that means is that it will retain hurricane status further inland than normal.

Fam, they said it's going to intensify over land. How the fuck is that even possible?!
Man the pressure is very low and all that lighting in the eye. It may reach cat 5
Likely because of the all the storm surge being pushed to land, but it will only be brief if at all. Hurricanes that makes landfall in low laying areas where storm surge is high are able to maintain strength and sometime strengthen temporarily.
It’s something that is common when hurricanes hit eastern NC.
It appears we will have a category 5
This is the strongest storm to make land fall at that spot.
