    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.

    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.

    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!"

    Reports of houses floating out into ocean on Anna Marie island.

    Trend to me says mid state will be lucky to get an 1”. She sure is going east.
  6. Matthew70
    Definitely agree. This one has a high ceiling high impact IF it does what the models are saying. IF!!!

    This hurricane is going to be impacting over a very large area. It’s going to be flying towards middle TN then comes to a crawl. The rubber band snaps the other way. From drought to flooding in areas.

    Seeing 70’s as highs starting Tuesday & onward is wonderful news. Now if we can throw in some much needed rain so I can seed my yard would be perfect.

    It’s definitely right! Mid state can’t buy a soaking rain.

    Well the ole crapper works!

    The mid state rain chances are disappearing quickly. Was hoping to aerate & seed my yard but the ground is way to hard to do that. Sad & pitiful.

    Amazing how 1-2” rain dissipates so quickly when in a drought. Not liking the LR precip maps. Again thankful for what I got but droughts are sure hard to bust once they get established. Cooler wx I love!
  13. Matthew70
    Very thankful to have gotten some rain. 1-2” helped no doubt. Though forecast looks dry again for quite awhile. The winds & lower humidity will dry it out quickly. I do love the fall wx that is coming next weekend.

    All the rains are teasing this area today. Gust fronts & thunder but no rain. sigh

    Not but a few drops IMBY. It’s literally like a desert here. Everything is already looking like winter. Hopefully the trees do not die while going dormant. I feel this is much worse than 2016 for this area. The two driest months still to come. Ugh.
  16. Matthew70
    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s a small fix and quick one at that. So true about fall foliage. Leaves are falling quickly in many parts of the area and never had a chance to change.

    https://www.wate.com/news/smoky-mountains/flint-gap-fire-in-the-smokies/ Burn ban now in effect for Rutherford county that I live in. The leaves are coming down like snow. Many are green with some yellow. My yard is the worse I have ever seen it. Completely dead. Looking forward to the cooler days but if we don’t get rain it’s going to get ugly I’m afraid. My neighbor is a forest fire fighter. He said right now it would take 5-7” to end our drought. Any rain would help but with the driest months coming up. He said pay attention. We live next to the woods.

    Snow fell in the Sierra Nevada mountains for first time in August since 2003.

    Lower temps & lower humidity with these dry conditions spells trouble as we lose more leaves to the drought. I was in Gatlinburg this past weekend. They are dry also. We need a week of rain.
  20. Matthew70
    Drought is making strong comeback
  21. Matthew70
    I’m starting to not like this long dry spell we are in. We are almost right back where we were before what rains we did get IMBY. The LR does not show much promise of soaking rains either. Plus climatology is we are approaching those drier months. Lower humidity & leaves already falling from the dryness is not a recipe I like.
  22. Matthew70
    I must say this weekend the wx is going to be absolutely perfect for August standards. Screen porch in the evenings will be my spot.
  23. Matthew70
    Round 2 incoming later tonight. Heads up!
  24. Matthew70
    Heads up plateau east down to the Chattanooga. Strong line of storms heading your way.
  25. Matthew70
    Ended up with a big ole ZERO for rain last few days. Ground is already drying out today. Drought will commence here IMBY. Sigh.
