Helene Recovery & Info

[maxcrowder]

Not to make a joke of it-but fortunately it is not real populated

and after these 24 hours, it never will be.

I have a cabin in the mountains west of Boone — legit concerned whether the mountainside can sustain this much rain in so short a period.

I was just talking to a friend in Alexander County. He has a house near Sugar Mountain. He thinks it is likely to be damaged. He's a county commissioner in Alexander County and they've been told by Duke Energy meteorolgoist that Lake Hickory is expected to crest 4' higher than any previous record.

Thank goodness climate change is a hoax, or else it would be very alarming that the National Weather Service is using such foreboding language about such an unprecedented weather event for that particular region of North Carolina.

Guilford County Schools (Greensboro) closed tomorrow. But middle school and high school football games tonight and tomorrow still on (for now).

That is odd.

It is moving so fast that it should be out of here by dinner time Friday night.

Lake James is expected to get to 10 feet above full pond. Highest ever lake levels there, and all of that's gonna be rolling down that way too....

I can only imagine what the Watauga is going to do Valley Cruises.

My niece lives riverfront on the Watauga in Sugar Grove. They own down to the river but their house is across River Rd so hopefully the river won't rise that high. The house was moved across the road in the 1940's due to prior flooding at that time. Of course with this much rain on thoroughly saturated soil, they may need to worry more about the water coming off the mountain than the river rising across the road. I texted her this morning to see how they were doing and they are at the beach! Lord knows what they might go home to.

Cat 3 now. Could be a cat 4 at landfall. Big flooding and tornado threat with it, too.

They rebuilt after the last one, for some reason.

Not that part of Florida. If any part of Florida’s coast is undeveloped, there’s a reason. That area is all swamp. Will definitely help with the landfall impact, but Tallahassee and southeast GA is still in for a world of hurt. And the NC mountains most of all.

Western NC braces for life-threatening flooding, potential mudslides from Helene

The mountains could see wind gusts of 70 mph in higher elevations and 50 mph in lower elevations. Life-threatening flooding and landslides are possible.

Western NC/Asheville already a mess and 10+ more inches of rain coming

Looks like Helene is making a run at becoming a cat 4.

Some rotation going on with a storm in Johnston County moving north towards Wake.

 

[mpaer]

Well we have had about two inches so far in G town and the hurricane is in the Gulf of Mexico

Soil wet and leaves still on the trees kinda reminds me of Fran.

 

[lightbluenc]

ryan hall's youtube channel is solid for following along with these storms as well

Nothing makes me want to get rid of the NWS and NHS more than these nothing events
