RamblinRed Posted yesterday at 02:49 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:49 PM This is reminding me a little of Opal from 1995. I remember waking up Thursday morning in Atlanta and it was really difficult to get anywhere as there was so many trees down (which then took out power, which took out traffic lights). I believe Opal was also a very fast moving storm, though I think it may have actually been just on the west side of Atlanta, so that was likely worse than what Helene seems to be setting up for. Keeping all the mountain folks in my thoughts as you'll look like are going to get hit so hard tomorrow. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted yesterday at 03:30 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:30 PM This is going to be such a bad flood event. 11+ inches before the storm even gets there!?!? Not sure we’ve ever had a precursor event like this leading up to a significant hurricane in the mountains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Went by to look at the Pigeon river. Being in a drought here has helped but the river has risen several feet already. If we get an additional 6 inches we are screwed here in Haywood and that looks likely currently. All stay safe out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All stay safe out there. I’ve been thinking how lucky we are that it has been so low, also lucked out we didn’t have the same training of the truly heavy stuff yesterday like those to our East had to deal with. That said, I’m getting more and more concerned about wind again. Saw the Pigeon is forecast to peak at 19 ft in Canton, so a little less than Fred but still flooding almost as bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
