SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Helene has made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane in the Big Bend
region of Florida at 11 PM EDT on Thursday. Helene has since moved
inland and been downgraded to a tropical storm. Despite the
downgrade, Helene remains a dangerous storm system capable of
producing damaging winds and flooding rainfall. Tree and power line
damage are still expected over parts of eastern Georgia. An
additional 2 to 5 inches of rainfall are possible with the highest
totals expected over the higher terrain of northern Georgia.
Significant river flooding is ongoing in parts of Georgia and
additional river flooding is expected.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* FLOODING RAIN:
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
north and central Georgia. Remain well guarded against life-
threatening flood waters having additional devastating impacts. If
realized, these impacts include:
- Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations and
rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their banks
in many places with deep moving water. Small streams, creeks,
canals, arroyos, and ditches may become raging rivers. In
mountain areas, deadly runoff may rage down valleys while
increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood
control systems and barriers may become stressed.
- Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover escape
routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of raging water
with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become very
dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures with some weakened
or washed out.
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
north and central Georgia. Remain well guarded against life-
threatening flood waters having additional extensive impacts.
* WIND:
Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across
north and central Georgia. Remain well sheltered from life-threatening
wind having additional extensive impacts. If realized, these impacts
include:
- Considerable roof damage to sturdy buildings, with some having
window, door, and garage door failures leading to structural
damage. Mobile homes severely damaged, with some destroyed.
Damage accentuated by airborne projectiles. Locations may be
uninhabitable for weeks.
- Many large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and
roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. Several bridges, causeways, and
access routes impassable.
- Large areas with power and communications outages.
Potential impacts from the main wind event are also now unfolding
across north and central Georgia. Remain well sheltered from dangerous
wind having additional limited to significant impacts.
* TORNADOES:
Potential impacts from tornadoes are still unfolding across northeast
Georgia. Remain well braced against a dangerous tornado event having
possible significant impacts. If realized, these impacts include:
- The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution
of emergency plans during tropical events.
- Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots
of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures.
- Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or
uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed about.
Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.
Potential impacts from tornadoes are still unfolding across northeast
Georgia. Remain well braced against a tornado event having possible
limited impacts.
