  1. Woke to very heavy rain for a few hours this morning. Also had a little thunder and lightning. My grass seed is absolutely beautiful. All the dead spots are now back to the way they were. A beautiful green lawn. I will definitely be mowing well into December this year.
  2. We need rain but not all at once. Mudslides could be an issue going into a very wet pattern.
  3. More floods across the globe. Catastrophic flooding in Spain with many dead & many missing. Also New Mexico recorded its first ever November tornado yesterday. OK took significant damage last night from tornadoes.
  4. Looks like the tropics are not done. Hoping the gulf coast is spared this time.
  5. Crazy looking at next 2 weeks. 60/70’s highs with 40/50’s lows. No sign on colder air. These temps are great I do love them but in the past it was different. The climate is changing no doubt. Floods are happening all across the globe. I know the wx goes in cycles but this one seems different. My grass seed is coming up beautifully. This is definitely the perfect wx for it to grow. Looks like my mowing season is going well into late Nov. At this rate I will be mowing at Christmas. Wonder if Santa comes on a mower instead of a sleigh this year.
  6. Interesting snippet I found out today. For first time in over 130 years Mt. Fuji does not have any snow at the top at Halloween.
  7. So many stories flying around. Hard to know what is truth & what is not. This port workers strike could really hurt the relief efforts. Hopefully they get it worked out.

  9. More detailed post. https://www.facebook.com/jessica.d.turner1/posts/929-update-my-sister-and-i-drove-to-asheville-last-night-and-picked-up-my-sister/10161462591753405/
  10. My heart breaks. https://x.com/dhruv2038/status/1840258437458080222?s=46&t=FmuuA5XMAZbmBeRUyll-zQ
  11. My mom still has family that she can not get in touch with. My cousin who is with the sheriff’s department out of Damascus has let us know much of what we grew up with is no longer. Marion to Damascus are in disarray. The fed govt. is doing nothing. No national guard. Nothing. Just like Maui they will do nothing.
  12. Very much so. I have family aunts, cousins in that area even. They can not get out. Many have no phone service. Also reports of many in cabin's towards Gatlinburg that can not get out due to landslides.
  13. What could make this worse is the port workers are close to going on strike. Meaning supplies could be disrupted.
  14. He’s lucky to have not been swept away. https://x.com/reedtimmerusa/status/1840090638718579055?s=46&t=FmuuA5XMAZbmBeRUyll-zQ
  15. Chance of a tropical formation is now 50% in the next 7 days. Some models are saying part 2 just slightly further west.
  16. This is going to be a long recovery. Bridges & roads will take a long time to rebuild. The dams & water plants will take even longer.
  17. I can not imagine another tropical system coming thru here. It would be beyond catastrophic with more rain falling on these saturated grounds.
  18. This is Damascus. I grew up around that place. My cousin is part of EMT there & has sent me videos of some of their rescues. Heartbreaking to see all these homes loss & property.
  19. I’m glad to hear everyone on this forum is safe & avoided major damage. The damage is so wide & far reaching & significant. I shudder at what insurance rates will do. Many have no insurance & in FL it’s almost impossible to get insurance. Infrastructure is already in bad shape across the country. Where is the $$$ going to come from to rebuild. More added to debt. Sigh. Don’t look now but there is the possibility of another storm in the gulf the first week of October. Let’s hope that’s a no go.
  20. EMS out of NC .."It is no longer safe to leave your home, please do not attempt to travel the roadways if it is not an emergency. Multiple roads are blocked by trees and powerlines are down throughout the county. Too many to list. A large majority of the county is impassable. Trees and powerlines are falling faster than we can clear them. A day at work is not worth your life.Fire departments have had to suspend road clearing operations due to numerous trees falling around them while working. These operations will not resume until wind conditions improve and they can be conducted safely. Emergency services will only respond to immediate life threats until further notice and services may be severely delayed. Stay home!"
