That’s route 40, not I-40.

One more death in Anderson and three in Spartanburg due to storm.

Pretty sure this is unprecedented

Probably the strongest message I have ever seen from Brad Panovich.

Not a lot to write about from Raleigh

Lots of missing stations. Only the big ones leave a hole like this, in my experience.

Snapmap is insane in the Asheville/Hendersonville area. So many flooded out roads and buildings, trees down, power lines down... hoping for a speedy recovery for all affected.

I think some of those very heavy bands effectively mixed winds down the the surface and combine this with the forward speed of the storm. It goes to show you there is far more to hurricanes than just that category they make at landfall.

Outage maps are insane. Power outages all the way to the Ohio River valley. 200k outages in *Kentucky*

My aunt and uncle live in Live Oak, FL and got hit really hard for the 2nd time this year. They had crazy flooding and some tree damage from Debby now tons of tree damage from Helene. This was just around their house.

Driving east on I-10 earlier from Greenville to Live Oak had tremendous tree damage. There was a zone southeast of Madison that had legitimately large pines snapped at the base. I have never seen anything like that. 

Hope your family is doing ok.

The drone footage I saw of this is crazy and scary. 

[Mowfishin]

Listen to the scanner. Real time radio reporting catastrophic failure. Rescue vehicles being overtaken by water. Maybe it was major overtopping but they clearly said catastrophic failure

It must be pretty unusual for the highest recorded gust to be so far inland.
