Yes he lived on swayzee Street in Yazoo City. I lived 17 miles away in Bentonia on one of the four paved roads in town! I called it log truck avenue cause they passed my house all day most days!

Finally got enough cell service to respond. We got hammered here in Valdosta!!! Thank God I wasn't tore up like so many here. This one was definitely worse than the other two. A little tin off my shop and a leak in the spare bathroom from a roof vent. Not sure. May be a couple weeks before we get our power back on from what I hear. So many way worse off than me. I'm blessed. Thanks for all the prayers!!! Nothing Better in my book
I'm glad you guys made it through
I spoke with the owner of TLH Tactical this morning, he escaped with very minor damage. Tallahasee.
Another friend there relayed the same. I suppose the worst was to their east.

Man we're ok…. Our beach house at Keaton Beach is completely gone…but my home in town is fine. Keaton beach and surrounding area is at least 90% loss. Every home in the coastal area is damaged. It's crazy how some places went unscathed and others hammered. My home in town, you can't tell a hurricane even came through. But other places it looks like it was a total wreck. I cleaned up 5 friends and family members properties with my tractor and at least a few homes next to theirs had hardly and debris while some properties have every thing down. I had to run to Gainesville to grab some extra fuel cans and gasoline to help out with generous and vehicles. Storm wrecked as far east as Branford.
Here's a couple pictures…the arrow will show where our beach house used to be. Nothing but dirt left…it's a picture off of a video sent to my mother in law. The surge was estimated to be at least 20'. The one house standing had homes all around it before the storm.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Beach House, but thankfully your other home and your family did OK! memtb
I really thought as it come through it wasn't as bad as Idalia…but the surge was massive. I was wrong in my assessment of how it was overall. My home in town is within 7 miles of the coast. I feel God held his hand over it. People here are tougher than woodpecker lips, but this is a gut punch that's gonna take a lil time to heal. I'll be on my tractor helping everyone I can.

For y'all that have interest in how close Tallahassee came to taking it on the nose from Helene here is a story from our local "newspaper" online version. There are several videos and pictures as well.
I live west of town (weak side of the storm) so I had very few effects of the storm. For all of you that don't know, Atlantic hurricanes in the northern hemisphere always rotate counterclockwise and the strong side is always the east side where winds are always worse and effects extend much further from the eye.

'Miraculous': Ten miles may have saved Tallahassee from Hurricane Helene, utter ruin
Tallahassee got about as close as meteorologically possible to getting hammered by Hurricane Helene.
