Jmoon Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 Praying for everyone in the path of this storm. Everyone please be safe and help your friends family and neighbors as much and safely as possible. Approaching 6 inches so far sw Rutherford county. Let's batten down the hatches. Prayers for everyone involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 I hope everyone here and everyone in general stays safe. This is a significant event unfolding. We can't stress enough how serious this event could be as the main circulation comes through in the morning. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopack42 Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 I have a feeling I'm not going to bed tonight. It was raining fairly heavily from around Wilksboro to Boone on my drive home. Oddly enough, once I got up to Beech, the rain essentially stopped. It's super foggy though. I seriously pray everyone will remain safe and well in the next day or two. When in doubt, air on the side of caution and don't take any unnecessary risks. I hope everyone is either already out of the way of the flooding or will get away ASAP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 Not our storm in central NC but we’ve picked up about an inch of rain in 30 min with this cell. Seemingly our 30th flood advisory in the last two weeks. I’m glad at least western NC wasn’t as saturated as we are leading up to this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdt Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 Mandatory evacuations for the town of Rosman. Based on your handle, which I like, I assume you are in southern Transylvania county near the escarpment. We bought property a number of years ago in a low key POA out East Fork Rd out past Connesstee Falls. Hope to build there in 3-5 years. The area from Ceasar Head to Lake Toxaway will likely total 15-25”. The land of Waterfalls is going to be raging! Best of luck and be safe!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 Looks like the French broad river is forecast to crest at 31 feet tomorrow at around 2pm. To put that in perspective that's 10 FEET above the record from 2004. This coming from the NWS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWY316wx Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 I am sure a lot of us are in the path, but I have seen maps today with gust over my house @ 80MPH. We are as prepared as we can be. I hope everyone is stays safe and dry but what is unfolding in the GOM is really a worst case scenario. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the stories from my grandmother who lived on the Keowee River as a kid and the Toxaway dam failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted September 26, 2024 Share Posted September 26, 2024 Forecasted wind gusts have increased to near hurricane strength as #HurricaneHelene approaches. Widespread power outages are likely tonight as well as the ongoing catastrophic flooding in the NC Mountains. Have multiple ways to receive a warning. #scwx #ncwx #gawx Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
