Rough weather right now in north Georgia, 4:45 pm.
Glad my 2 lovely ladies are inside, wife Jeannette and
2013 coupe named Lola. Outside right now not a place
to be. To all in Atlanta and North Georgia be safe!

What a difference a few miles can make. In north central Alabama, we have light rain and no wind. Supposed to get windy but it's not happened yet. And it's quite cool.

Hey genius, been through 7 hurricanes on
eastern Long Island. Been there done that.
Just letting people in North Georgia know not to
go out unless they have to. But there is always
a know it all to have a smart *** answer.

Same here. Family is same and house is okay. We lost power Friday and have no idea when it might be back. Really tough with my daughter and grand kids being here to be safe.

I any Corvette Forum members that are snow birds and have a place in FL that they would consider renting for a few weeks that would be great to know.

Contact is Jim Boyer 954 299 8077
Thanks,

Two inches of rain here in southern middle TN, and two 10-ft limbs knocked out of a tree.

I can put up with that any time.
