Hurricane Irene Update from Statesboro GA

Yesterday I showed some wispy clouds that were coming across our area here in coastal Georgia as Hurricane Irene came into range.
Today the storm is almost dead level to the east of us and a very well defined edge of clouds passed over this region.
Wish it were more exciting than that but there we are.

On a side note, I shot this with a Canon 550D (T2i) using Magic Lantern firmware and the new Technicolor "Cinestyle" picture style.
No color correction at all, and it doesn't look half bad

@theenragedbean Thanks much for the sentiment but I was pointing out that we were only getting some cloud cover as the storm passed by us out in the Atlantic and no high winds or damage at all.

Fortunately it looks like the storm is weakening somewhat and with any luck the harm it causes up the eastern seaboard will be minimal.

I give a flying hooey about it! And I live in France!

@flyingfisbeefilms I specifically had you in mind when I said that

@toyota4life94 Is it getting as bad as last year? Lake Lanier just about bottomed out. Or was that a couple years ago?

I figured we'd have a rainier season but it's been pretty sparse down here this year

@toyota4life94 I'm in Statesboro, about 200 miles southeast of you. Just about 50 miles from the coast.

Irene was pretty much like Floyd back in 1999 but that time they evacuated Savannah and it didn't rain a drop.

When I lived in Atlanta the best I could hope for in a big hurricane induced storm would be from the ones that ran up from the gulf and through Alabama

@xexodusx This is just the outer edge, the last real hurricane that came through here was Hugo in 1989 and I definitely knew what I was seeing then. Fortunately we're in that pocket of coastline that rarely gets hit,

But you're right, where you are you definitely know which way the wind's blowing! :)

[xexodusx]

haha wow, you obviously never seen a hurricane before.. here in pensacola we know whats up

@2chicksfivems Sorry I haven't got the most exciting hurricane news but I appreciate the comment! :)
