calculus1 Posted January 9, 2024 Share Posted January 9, 2024 Just broke the 1.70 mark a short while ago. Four is within reach, but I was honestly expecting more by now. We will see... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a "WOW" emoji to choose from in the list of reaction icons on each post, but there's not one. I will have to go with this emoji inside the body of a reply: Oh, and I just broke the 2-inch threshold IMBY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alchemist Posted January 9, 2024 Author Share Posted January 9, 2024 Couldn't make it in to work (ICC) I-26 is flooding at the bottom of the mountain near the Columbus NC exit. Took Hwy 176 back home to Saluda and can't believe how much water is on the road and how fast the waterfalls are running. This is like a tropical system getting caught in the southern Apps. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 9, 2024 Share Posted January 9, 2024 The Catawba has risen over 3 feet in less than 2 hours. Now at 7 feet. I'm thinking 10-12 feet seem likely. Hopefully not higher than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not higher than that. I’m downstream on lake hickory and I’ve already seen some dangerous currents and big debris. The lake was lowered a bit this week but it’ll be ripping over the dam soon if it’s not already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted January 9, 2024 Share Posted January 9, 2024 All the sleet/ice from this morning is adding to the runoff here. We have a wet weather creek next to the house and it has more water than I've seen in a very long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 9, 2024 Share Posted January 9, 2024 Over 2.3 inches now IMBY. I will retract my comment about closing schools for a rainstorm. It may not be too bad here (yet), but the mountain counties seem to really be taking a beating based on the comments above. This could really wash out some roads and sides of mountains up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the river here has risen a lot probably the most it's risen in 2 years... That makes a lot of people uncomfortable around here. Going from severe drought to severe flooding is unnerving here in Haywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 9, 2024 Share Posted January 9, 2024 Just had a huge bolt of lightning strike around the house! One of those window rattling thunders! And it's absolutely pounding the rainfall! Big bolt of lightning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
