Three and counting...

The third hurricane Jeanne left Atlanta last night. It was not as strong as Ivan but stronger than Frances. Atlanta is enough inland not to have strong damaging winds. Yesterfay was more windy than usual and a few big old trees felt in the area but it is not a real problem, unless you are one of the unlucky guys with a tree that felt on his house!
The problem in Atlanta is more with the amount of rainfall and floodings. Well everything is relative, I still have not seen a really flooded road. Each hurricane brings with it about 24hours of heavy rain.

Rainfall amount at Hartsfield-Jackson airport:

  • Frances (early september): 76.8mm
  • Ivan (mid september): 128.9mm
  • Jeanne (end september): 124mm
  • Total september: 345.7mm
  • Average september: 104mm
  • Average year: 1270mm
