Are you down the mountain some near the ski resort entrance? I'm up at the top behind Brick Oven

It's beautiful up here on Beech. Gusty wins and who knows how much snow. Everything is white and coming down nicely.

If he is is getting wet at 6 ft surge, then he needs to get the hell out of the way.

Yes, Ive seen others post that records have been broken in some areas, but not sure where. My friend told me Roan Mountain is being evacuated

It's pretty hairy over here too. I don't have a way to take any wind speed readings, but my gut says over 80 at least.

That dude has some sort of hormonal regulation problems combined with massive caffeine intake and tachycardia during his live streams.

Where exactly Tyler? Just curious

I think they've been chasing crack instead of hurricanes

Geezus

Oh I know. I just like to go down with a positive attitude.....

Thanks for the reassurance from you and Jburns and met. I've ridden out many hurricanes, but this is my first here so please pardon my nervousness lol. I don't mean to sound like a baby, although I'm probably being one lol

Thanks for the info! My fear, as Boone pointed out below, is that it's too late and now it's dark trying to come down the mountains. I would have not come home today but I HAD to get here to take care of some things and now I feel like I'm stuck but want to play it safe at my brother's house.

Serious question. Should I get out of Beech Mountain and go to Statesville with my brother? I'm at the very top of the mountain, so slides and flood are unlikely direct on top of me, but down hill might be different. I'm on the 3rd floor of a condo (top floor) directly on top of the mountain, so I don't know how safe or unsafe I am since I have never ridden a hurricane out in the mountains. If I need to leave, I need to now, but I don't know what to do here. We are in unprecedented territory Edit to add that I am mainly afraid of the winds and structural issues with the roof, etc.....

I have a feeling I'm not going to bed tonight. It was raining fairly heavily from around Wilksboro to Boone on my drive home. Oddly enough, once I got up to Beech, the rain essentially stopped. It's super foggy though. I seriously pray everyone will remain safe and well in the next day or two. When in doubt, air on the side of caution and don't take any unnecessary risks. I hope everyone is either already out of the way of the flooding or will get away ASAP.

My friend in Johnson City said she was seeing hail a little earlier.
