    I love snow, but I don't even know what to think about that. Definitely not a good thing during the recovery from this disaster.  The positive thing is that I can't remember very many, of any, mid October snowstorms. 

    But, we can only take what we are given. We can't control it.

    Briefly have cell service for the 1st time since Friday. I'm in Candler, SW of Asheville. In line to get gas. I feel fortunate to be alive. The destruction is unimaginable. We have no cell service or power or water. Our food is about out, but we are trying to find some today,  along with thousands of other people. Massive trees to clean up, but minor stuff compared to the complete tragedy that others have experienced. The rivers and wind have done just insane damage. No nightmares would match this reality.

    Watching Jason Boyer on WLOS, this is as intense as I have ever seen him.

    He is doing an excellent job. That is the way that you present a serious weather situation. I know he gets some flack, but he is nailing this event.

    Well a tropical storm watch for Transylvania county. That’s a new one. Lol

    Just getting ready to post that. This is the one for Buncombe.

    The first person who says after the fact that "the NWS didn't even say it was going to rain" needs to be told what an  idiot that they are. It will happen. It does every time.

    The NWS pulled no punches talking about how dangerous it is. Now, it is up to the public to listen and use common sense.

    Yeah as shown currently this is going to be a historical event.. Not hyping but just looking at the data.  Again any sudden change with this thing and that could greatly impact our area but so far all models have us as ground zero.

    They definitely do. It is not hype at all. It is a scary scenario.

    I bet these will be upped as well. This is still extremely impressive.  Also if the thing ends up strengthening a good bit that will really put us under the gun for some extreme weather. 

    I wish it would all be as wrong as some of the snow forecasts of the past.  This sounds like misery ahead. Chain sawing trees and being without power don't top my list of favorite things to do.
