I didn't mean to downplay other areas by any means. This area is where I came growing up, so it's more familiar and I know the area better. All mountains are amazing.
-
Oh wow. That's horrible and very sad. I wish there was a better way of getting people out of harms way, but those things are so quick to happen and are somewhat hard to predict as far as the impact of the flooding that could occur. Very tragic.
-
I do! Boone/Blowing Rock/Banner Elk are what I personally call "the mountains" (not to offend other areas of course). I got married in Banner Elk, broke my leg severely here in Beech, about died with my Grandmother driving a younger me and my brother on 321, thought I was going to get killed by cowboys at Tweetsie as a child..... Lots of great memories here!
-
Understood. I can imagine flash flooding can be very intense given the right conditions.
-
It is, but it hasn't been too bad so far. I'm sure traffic will pick up as peak color comes in and then when ski season starts. I've been coming here my entire life from the age of 2-3 years old and used to make it here 5-6 times a year. Finally, I told myself that it's time to make my life dream to live here come true, so I bought a place here.
-
So, I imagine you want to be more concerned with landslides if you live in a valley or on the side of a mountain?
-
Oh, that's great! We aren't terribly far from each other then.
-
Agree totally, and I was thinking the same. Last weeks storm wasn't bad except for a small stretch of coast for the intense rainfall. I actually just moved from Emerald Isle to Beech, so I was at the coast for 4 years. I've been through many hurricanes in NC and FL over the years, so I'm not afraid of anything. I'm more interested in the geographic influence on storms here in the mountains.
-
Indeed. Where exactly do you live? I'm not nervous about the storm, but I do want to be prepared. 5k feet elevation is up there for something like this, so I was curious what you and others have gone through in these storms
-
Beautiful pics! I took a ton on a couple hikes Friday off the BRP at Beacon Heights and Flat Rock. And, thanks for your info over on the tropics @Met1985. I found you here!
-
Will do! Thank you.
-
Interesting. I was here at Beech for the NC landfall last week, and things weren't that bad here other than some gusty winds and light/moderate rain off and on. I was thinking this gulf storm could be far more impactful if it's a higher end storm.
-
Thank you for your reply. I have to admit that I asked for a selfish reason due to me recently moving to Beech Mountain full time a couple weeks ago. I was curious as to what to expect and prepare for (power outages, flooding, etc). As you know, Beech is over 5k ft elevation, so I figured it could potentially get rough here. Thank you again
-
I understand there is tons of uncertainty in track and intensity for the approach to the gulf coast, but let's assume it comes on shore and tracks up the Appalachians (or close to it). My question is, up in the SC and NC mountains at higher elevations (3500 ft and higher), do storms typically have stronger wind impact for higher elevations even though the cyclone is winding down post landfall? I wasn't sure if elevation correlates to stronger winds even as the storm winds down. Thanks very much for any knowledge on this.
-
If I may.....would y'all mind suggesting some good people to follow on X/Twitter to keep track of severe forecasting and discussion? Thank you very much!
-
Does this mean oil is being released into the Gulf?
-
Please keep the videos/live feeds coming! I appreciate all of the links. I'm horrible at finding stuff like that.
-
We are about to see underwater coverage and footage via the Humphries cam of Hurricane Ida. Expect to see how fish behave in extreme conditions.
-
Thanks for your insight. We always have to be careful with the possibility of seeing deep fake photos, etc. I have no clue what HARRP is, but will try to find info about it (at least the technology...not to find out if it's real or true or not). I do find the formations very odd and "too perfect", which is why I wanted others more knowledgeable to comment. Again, thanks.
-
My apologies then. I just wanted to be clear to everyone that I'm not here to troll or flame or start anything childish. I just think it's interesting and, yes, very cool.
-
And I have never in my life seen that site....I was simply browsing searches and came across interesting photos. Ill repeat myself, hopefully the last time, that I only wanted a calm, adult, intellectual, educational discussion....but I obviously came to the wrong place. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or looking to push an agenda that was anything other than a scientific one.
-
Yeah....I obviously came to the wrong place to try to gain some knowledge about science. I specifically prefaced my post to note that I in no way intend to have anything political or conspiracy related in my discussions. I stated that I specifically would like a scientific point of view on the picture posted at the bottom of the page. Ive never seen anything like that and it is very interesting.....but obviously my attempt to avoid political and conspiracy discussion prompted you to include a political and conspiracy discussion.....my mistake for trying to actually have an intellectual discussion on whatever this forum topic is.....
-
As I previously stated....Ive lurked here for a long while. I rarely post and usually just read the main threads of significant weather events....not the banter threads. I will say again...I am not trying to cause any problems or start any issues. If that's the case, I'll immediately shut up and go away. I'm not that kind of guy.
-
I need to note up front that I am NOT posting this link for the discussion that is on that page nor to imply anything about the source name, etc. I am simply posting this link to get scientific discussions about the photos that are at the bottom of the page (like...see that cloud pattern? It is called xxx and is caused by yyy). Again, NOT a political discussion or crazy theory discussion....my objective is to have a purely scientific, evidence based discussion. THANK YOU for bareing with me as a noob. I apologize if I stirred up a discussion that has been put to bed and frowned upon to discuss. I come in peace lol. Here is the link....please discuss the pictures at the bottom only!! https://www.ancient-code.com/nasa-accidentally-shows-proof-of-large-scale-weather-manipulation-in-satellite-images/

Yeah bud....I know how to use duckduckgo and Google. I assumed I could come to a friendly forum to get some insight from some knowledgeable people instead of seeing information Google wants me to see.
