Met1985 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Wish I was out & about but, they are not mine. We haven't had crazy precip amounts it just came really quick & the ground is just totally saturated! At my location 1.26" in about the last 3 hrs & 6.03" for the month. We average around 36" per year! Ya Don just unreal the amount of rain we ahve seen the last 2-3 weeks. The ground cannot take anymore. That is why we ahd so many trees falling over and uprooting around here when that squall line came through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNCwx Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 A short video montage from today in Franklin. The biggest problem was downed trees on power lines and some places flooded in town that haven't flooded in more than a decade. At one point several thousand people in Macon and Jackson Counties were out of power. As of half an hour ago the numbers were: Jackson County 2,391Swain County 1,418Graham County 890Cherokee County 378Macon County 286Total in NC/SC 11,037 Duke has a webpage with more up to date figures at http://bit.ly/WNCMAP After I got home, there was a really loud clap of lightning (just one) that people seem to have heard for about ten miles around. http://is.gd/L4cBdm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
