Fortunately, Hurricane Helene moved east when she came ashore and travelled up through Georgia. We got rain, rain and more rain (almost 6″ in the past 24 hours), but were spared most of the damaging winds. We have the normal leaves, twigs and limb debris we usually get following a severe thunderstorm. The neighborhood across the street had a tree down along the main road. I passed an engineer checking on the newly installed storm culvert while out walking Sadie.
Our power went out briefly overnight, but it’s back on now. There’s a lot of localized flooding all over Atlanta, particularly the Brookhaven, Buckhead and Sandy Springs areas. First responders have had to make several water rescues, including some involving small boats.
When I see all of the news reports of hurricane damage on television and online, I am so thankful my friends and family came through relatively unscathed. I also received confirmation that I made the right decision to cancel our trip to the Asheville Quilt Show. I see they’ve extended the show through Sunday, but I think I’ll still stay home.
Come Stitch With Me 
Glad to hear you & your family are safe. This is the first time I’ve seen a hurricane be this powerful so far inland ☹ Asheville is really taking a hard hit!
Helene was far-reaching. I felt like I could’ve been in Florida. Those winds had communication with the rain and had me a bit frightened.
