Hurricane Isaias has reached Cat 3 status and due to hit a wide expanse of the Gulf Coast, 10-11 PM EST.
While it will downgrade as it continues to travel NNE, it is going reach clear into KY, VA possibly OH.
I already know to expect 30 to 45 mph wind gust, but where I live in middle Tennessee could possibly see 60 mph wind gust.
We are predicted to have severe flooding rain from different rain bands as they come through. I will welcome the rain because I am not flood prone, we are in the worst level of drought possible and really need the rain. The downside to the rain is if we get too much at once, we have a tree lined road with old trees, whose roots are very thirsty and may indeed collapse across the road.
I am already prepared with enough human & critter food for three weeks.
Prayers to all those who are in a direct line of fire of this cat three hurricane. I hope you have prepared to the best of your abilities.
