Hi Mike!

 > Helene will give us a rainy weekend with some periods of wind gusts.
 > We're about 1,200 miles from where Helene is currently.
 MP> Helene made it rather quickly into TN/KY/IN and then sort of
 MP> parked here. We got a lot of rain, but *nothing* like they say in
 MP> the Western Carolinas or East Tennessee.  Here, we got plenty of
 MP> wind at times but I only lost a few smaller limbs.  Power
 MP> flickered for hours, but others lost theirs for a few to several
 MP> hours.

Right on the parking -- that gave us nicer weather pulled in from the
northwest.


 MP> Eastern KY and surrounding areas of the Virginias were getting
 MP> heavy rains for days before Helene even got near Florida, so
 MP> they've had some issues with land and rock slides, and big trees
 MP> easily falling over due to the soaked ground.  Best as I can
 MP> tell, the damage is again nothing like it was just SE of there.

It's amazing how fluid the solid-looking land is.
