Thank you for this! Delighted and relieved to know that you and your family -- and your home -- made it through Helene intact, at least physically. And awed by how you managed to stay online with us through it all. Thank you!!
When you get a breather, can you explain the CAG, if it has become an increasing source of these devastating storms, and why. I once thought our tropical storms and hurricanes started on the west coast of Africa and worked their way west.
Any insight as to what caused the jog to the east right before landfall? After the jog it resumed its NNE track. That jog may have been the unfortunate issue leading to devastating E Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
I need to do more research into this, but my sense is that the intensification trend into the evening slightly shifted the effective steering layer moving the storm to something a bit more eastward. There was definitely a change in heading of ~10 degrees or so from ~15 degrees to more like 25 degrees in the late afternoon. Further study needed.

Little mad scientist look but smart non the less.🥸

You have that work ethic that seems to be missing in so many these days. You were supposed to be off till tomorrow, but we will forgive you.
Thanks for all you do! It is appreciated. ☺️
