downeastnc Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 What is really crazy is this is nothing compared to what its gonna be like in 2-3 days, all that water is in the system now and most rivers are going to crest just under or actually above the Floyd level crest which exceeded 500-1000 yr flood plains.....so many reports coming in now around my area of roads washed out etc now that the curfew is over and people are able to get out and find out how bad it is....

metwannabe Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 A link to Enfield Police Department, a small town in my county with some pictures of a water rescue from a vehicle that washed off the road last night.... this is a scene playing out all over central/eastern NC. There's a reason authorities use such strong wording to try to keep people off the roads...

Yeah most of us truly thought Floyd was a once in a lifetime event and to think this could surpass that in areas is incredible. Watching these live coast guard rescues this morning is amazing....

Yeah there will be dozens of choppers in the air later today and tomorrow as the water comes up, hopefully the lessons learned from Floyd help, the word is out already and we need to get to people today and get them out, much different than 99 when Floyd hit, people didnt expect it and woke up to water in the house etc....they are closing the PGV airport this afternoon for the next week....the runways are expected to go under water its at 25 ft above sea level.

Absolutely, it goes without saying that there is plenty of water up stream got to head your way, as you say at least they have time to get people out. That was a very widespread area of 6-10 totals to your west that has to flow east, the images from down there in a day or two are gonna be horrible. 7 confirmed storm related fatalities in NC now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I am back online. Power went out sometime after I went to bed and came back on at around 7:45 am. A few trees came down but not much damage down this way. Peak wind gust at the airport was 52 mph. My station is showing 43 mph. Total rainfall was 2.88". Winds are still blowing into the high 20's at time and the temp is down to 58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Wow as reports come in its obvious Greenville is in a bad way reports of many many major roads inside the city are washed out, and while no massive metropolis Greenville isnt a small town either 100k people plus 25k university students....hopefully the ECU kids get out today while they can.....my gauges had 9.5" total for the event but I suspect it was more...no way it was accurate as windy as it was.

Another 9.63" after midnight to right now equals a grand storm total of 21.28" here in Elizabeth City. The wind is still howling and my neighborhood is still flooded. The Dutch water made it to the steps on the front porch, but blessedly stayed out of the garage and the crawl space. damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sctvman Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Still over 55K outages from SCE&G in Charleston County, and we are one of them. The city has fared better, but not James Island and the other barrier islands. Tree damage is as bad as Floyd was here. There are trees through multiple houses on Harbor View Rd. From uesterday, it didn't look like but a few houses escaped any damage on island. It is gonna take till Halloween or longer for this clean-up.

That water has to come down stream and thats why its gonna be bad here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveVa Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 SE VA got hit harder than expected, ironically as I was about to post that NHC should get TS warning issued for my area...I lost power. Lots of roads are flooded, we got 12-14 inches of rain in the last 22 hours. Local mets say at the peak winds were 45 mph sustained and gusts near 60. PWS Cape Henry which is the northernmost point in Va Beach had impressive 62 mph winds and 73 mph gusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one road currently open letting me get from the east side into Greenville proper, and it was jammed with debris from where it was under water, water is currently a ft under it, it is the same creek that washed out 33, once the river gets to 22 ft it goes back under water so I will be stuck over here for week unless I drive to Vanceboro and catch 43....

The GFS says little to no rain in the drought area anytime soon. Of course the Carolinas east of I-77 do not need 1 more drop, but areas west of there really need it.
