Well the rain today went well. 0.00" so far. Short range stuff looks nice with the ULL, though.

Been stuck at 35 since about midnight. Honestly kinda enjoying it with how dry and warm we've been.

Really liking the look of the models heading towards next weekend. GFS has been consistent with a big trough dipping down behind whatever happens with that tropical system.

I've got a ton of images to go through but what a show. Very chilly spending 3 hours up in the breeze.

42.4 in Foscoe this morning. Hello fall!!

Final 4 day tally of 28.68" of rain right here on the upper Watauga headwaters. 3 day of 27.08". The gauge on the Watauga failed after the river reached 1940 levels. 39,000cfs. Every major highway has a washout or landslide. I'm stuck here in Foscoe til they fix some roads.

Just getting trained on now in the NW mountains.

Watauga isn't climbing as fast as I expected. Linville is approaching 2004 levels with last update at 17,000cfs

Just lost power. Getting scraped by this eyewall. Cell service is spotty. Over two feet of rain with 7 more inches since midnight. Easily the scariest weather I've ever been in.

Really really picking up here now. Somehow still have power even though it sounds like a war zone with transformers blowing. I live in a hole so most of the wind is going over my head but sounds like a jet most of the time.

Looks to me like she's moving due north right now. HRRR/NAM had been showing this all day.

Winds are picking up here. Finished yesterday at 10.6" with another 2.4" since midnight (actually slowed down a bit). Storm total since Wednesday morning now up to 18.9". 20.5 going back to Tuesday. Linville broke 10,000CFS and the Watauga is over 11,000.

Foscoe. I'm fascinated. We don't usually get hit this hard over here. Winds picking up already.

I'm about 10 miles south of Boone in NC and am up to a 3 day total of just over 17". 1.61 Tue 5.89 Wed 9.5" Thu and still falling fast. Never seen rain rates like this last so long. Should easily break 2 feet for the week. All this water has gotta go somewhere.

Over 17" 3 day total now. Accidentally reset my station event readout so having to do math now lol
