I was telling @ORH_wxman earlier that we had some clearing and a poor man’s stadium as the eye passed. Nice. That area must be difficult to chase. Very rural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think the National Hurricane center is too conservative with the strength of this storm. I'm wondering if they will revise their wind speed strength in the future as 105 seems wrong from the looks of the storm on radar. Quality over quantity season for sure.

powderfreak Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 If you want to just watch some damage for a bit... I know what rain totals of like 4-8" do in mountainous/hilly terrain... but not 12-20". There's no way to avoid a record disaster if a foot and a half of rain falls into topography like that. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunafish Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 The scope and span of the damage to property is remarkable. Maybe it won't be more costly than Katrina but it's gotta be close. Not to mention the growing death toll (now >100 with hundreds more not accounted for). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone-68 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I wonder how this compares to the infamous hurricane Camille flooding in the same general area in ‘69? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As more pictures and videos come out the damage seems unimaginable. Entire neighborhood washed away, long stretches of roads washed away, bridges destroyed. The national media is just today starting to pick up on how bad it was. Tens of thousands of people’s lives are still going to be affected long after we have forgotten about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 1 hour ago, WxWatcher007 said: Worse. This will be the storm of record for a lot of people. Helene's rain covered at least 10x the area of Camille's Apps flooding, but the earlier storm dumped up to 26" in 5 hours on some central/west spots in Virginia. (That's about what NYC recorded for all of 1965!) In that more limited area, the damages/casualties (~115) were equal or worse than Helene - though the total of fatalities from Helene will be, sadly, almost certain to be higher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWolf Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I’m thinking Camille’s Hurricane effects and destruction in the area where it made landfall, were much more intense and worse(Cat 5 monster) than Helene’s were at landfall. I think that’s where these storms differ. However, Helene’s monstrous rain and bigger physical size covered/and hit a much larger area, which makes it devastating in that regard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re just talking landfall zone, I think that’s true, but storms don’t end there of course. The surge of this one was record breaking and far reaching too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 1 minute ago, WinterWolf said: Yes, Agreed Don. What a monster Camille was. Completed an ERC just offshore and quickly reintensified to 175mph/900mb. Just unreal. All of our 5’s rapidly intensified within 3 days of landfall. It’s about timing and “luck” as much as anything else. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, she was a total beast…that’s a different league altogether in terms of pure strength. I think that was more my point when I mentioned how devastating it was when it came ashore as a behemoth of that intensity….and she got all that fury right down to ground level as she arrived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Portions of I40 and I26 have been removed from google maps and GPS mapping. Going to be an absolute nightmare for those trying to navigate down that way.

It's going to take months and months. It's 5 steps just to get to something critical like water. https://ibb.co/gdM34M3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
