Hello Neighbors! 

So far so good, the power went off at 5:50 am but was back on by 9:50 am here in Rambling Ridge.  I imagine we will lose it again when the Helene storm bands come through. Reports of 4-8 inches on the rain gauge here so far and an additional 7-10″ is likely.

Since a tropical warning has been issued, winds of 40-60mph are likely late tonight through Friday morning. Gusts may be as high as 70 to 80 mph, especially in higher locations, which will likely cause tree damage and power outage. 
For those on Facebook, we have a private Rambling friends group that posts about issues in the neighborhood.
