Re: Hurricane Warnings up from Grand Isle, LA to Apalachicola, FL and Puerto Rico

In southeast Georgia, you should be relatively far away from the impacts of the storm. Winds might kick up a little bit, depending where in SE Georgia you are, but I wouldn't expect a large amount of rain or wind from this system. A couple of inches of rain -- mainly Friday & onward after the storm has made landfall -- and winds perhaps up to 20mph are a good bet.

Folks in SW Georgia, however, are in for winds in the 40-60mph range along with heavy rainfall. This is going to be a serious flooding event up and down the US 27/I-65 corridor, I'm afraid.
