Met1985 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 They have set up emergency shelters and are going to announce we are a disaster area on the state and federal level so we can get the adequate help we need around the county.

WxKnurd Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Road washed out, this neighbor in Candler is cutoff from the outside world now. FD setup when I walked down there to get people across. I was working just upstream from here when I stopped for the day yesterday before it hit the fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this may be the community but I heard that some 40 people were cut off because the road was washed away in Candler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably it, only one I’ve seen cutoff thus far. That’s Hominy Creek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Saw some reports the Sunburst Falls Bridge on 215 is gone. Don't know about the other arch bridges up there. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 So far 4 deceased have been found here in Haywood because of the flood. Also they have upped the number of missing people to 35 now here in Haywood. Truly this is extremely saddening and devastating. I've never seen anything like this even during 2004. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw they confirmed 2 found deceased this morning, I’m hoping that’s all but reading the tea leaves of information I’ve seen I think the total is going to go higher. I hope our member from Cruso on here is alright and avoided damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 My biggest worry is we get another tropical system in the next 6 weeks. The season is just now getting cranked up and it looks to be wet late next week even without a system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had some very heavy rainfall here in Haywood again yesterday. Lot's of street flooding from that cell also. It's hampering the recovery here also.

BooneWX Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Decided to take a trip to the NE forum a few moments ago and they’ve all already “canceled” the storm because they haven’t had any strong winds or damage at this point. The core is still 50 miles+ out to sea . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Looks like we will see a glancing blow from the hurricane coming in at this time. We will see some rain but at this time I do not expect any flooding. Also looks like we will see a brief cool down before we bake again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 The overnight and morning model runs brings more moisture into SW NC from the hurricane this coming week. Looks like anywhere from 2 to 4 inches could be a scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models are typically too slow with the transition to extra tropical. Need to be aware of that possibility across the mountains. Yeah I have been seeing we might have some winds of 40 to 50 mph.

Met1985 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Still looks like we may see some significant rainfall here in WNC from the now current hurricane in Louisiana. Also after the beginning of the week we will see a significant cool down with highs in the 70 and possibly 60 with lows in the 40s and 50s.

wncsnow Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The NAM and RGEM show over 4 inches in spots. The globals are a little less but have generally increased totals the past 24 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
