Update in Augusta.

Opportunitist are thriving right now and that may be why more stores aren't opening. People in neighboring cities (mostly Hephzibah I'm hearing) and my wife's best friend (in South Augusta) have reported being without water since this morning, rumor is they are turning off water for some of the city for reasons I haven't gotten a clear answer for.

Traffic is ungodly, I swear there is almost no point to stay home but you have to with the way people blow through intersections that still have no working lights. Speaking of power, officials are saying it may be Friday until we get power instead of Tuesday. We have a curfew in Richmond county and neighboring Columbia county. I think they are 9 and 10pm... But I learned my lesson after getting home at 7:45 yesterday. Driving in pitch black with trees and debris everywhere you look is no bueno. There is a story of a driver from last night who got impaled in the chest by a downed tree that they couldn't see. Due to the conditions, paramedics couldn't reach the person in time.

Georgia as a whole already doesn't handle natural disasters well but Augusta/Richmond county is a different level of incompetent. So many of us have zero clue as to what's what or what will be

Asheville is completely cut off…I-40 between TN and NC is completely washed out too…
Logged in to twitter and saw this tweet and also hadn't seen you in TSC recently so got worried bout you being in the hurricane. Glad you're OK. This shyt looks scary tho. This storm looked to be a real bad one all over.

Still don't got power and the job don't got power either smh they got the employees walking around with head flash lights like they're miners :dead:
That's not funny, but the visuals of this is making it very hard for me to keep my composure.

We got fukkING BLASTED in Augusta.

The pictures and videos I have are crazy. The amount of downed trees I personally saw is in the hundreds.. downed power lines in the dozens. Caved in roofs and crushed cars galore. All traffic lights are out. Only a select few stores are open and the two Publix I just came from had last call before I got there. Easily 300+ people cramming into these spots, self checkout lines wrapped around the entire store. It's believed that power won't be restored until Tuesday at the earliest, for "some" people.

Glad I shopped on Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation. Unfortunately me and my wife cook too often and don't do snacks much.. so not only is hundreds worth of meat about to spoil, we don't have much to munch on. So I'm about to pull my grill out, boil some water on it in my kettle and grill as much of the meat as I can. Hope neighbors are hungry because I refuse to throw the meat away, I'll feed the damn stray animals first
Times like these make me want solar panels more and more.
