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. They are closing at 12 today. My wife went in this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has only happened once before a few years ago when we got hit 1ith 7in+ in less than a day. The ground is way too saturated. Added some new drainage but even that couldn't stop this one Also, storming here now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heels98 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 4 minutes ago, strongwxnc said: max gust was 35.3 just now. That gust plowed through here, really intense for about 10 minutes. We had two big trees topple over but thankfully they were in the woods behind the house and not on my property. Hearing some rumbling thunder. I've never seen as much water in our yard as we have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstate Tiger Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Weather app says 21 mph sustained and 49 mph gust at my home in Cherryville. Got to say though that my doorbell camera doesn’t look like it’s blowing that hard. Going to be a wild day. Stay safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Regardless of whether or not the winds with the main part of the system materialize, I’m concerned about tonight when they pick up from the frontal passage. It truly won’t take much to topple trees after this deluge. 30-40 mph will be more than adequate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been wondering about that. honestly, there has been almost no wind here so far. a few gusts but I haven't noticed any wind the last couple of hours however we have had a ton of rain - all the streams are out of their banks and standing water at a lot of intersections. rain has really lightened up the last 30 min or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
