Helene continues to produce catastrophic winds that are now pushing
into southern Georgia. This is an extremely dangerous and
life-threatening situation. Persons should not leave their shelters
and remain in place through the passage of these life-threatening
conditions. When in the eye, people are reminded to not venture out
in the relative calm, as hazardous winds will increase very quickly
when the eye passes.
A WeatherSTEM site in southern Lowndes County in Georgia recently
reported a wind gust to 88 mph (142 km/h). Another Weather Stem
site in Kinderlou, Georgia recently reported a minimum pressure of
952.2 mb (28.11 inches) in the eye of Helene.
