Nope. There's concern there also. Daughter is living there with you between downtown Greenville and Taylors.

Trees coming down around here in Asheville.

Some USGS gages are going offline. South Toe crashed out. Catawba only 1 foot below the record now

We should have a lot more posts on here. I think a lot of our members are no longer able to post…

French Broad River in Fletcher now above record levels

I thought the exact same

Still have cellular internet but I live a few hundred yards from a cell tower.

[Tyler Penland]

Really really picking up here now. Somehow still have power even though it sounds like a war zone with transformers blowing.

I live in a hole so most of the wind is going over my head but sounds like a jet most of the time.

Here you go.

 Still holding onto power, however spectrum service is out. Sending this out using verizon lte hotspot 

Here in Catawba county. Still have power where I am at but just looking at the Outage map for Duke energy tells an entirely different story.

Burke / Caldwell seem worse

Anyone in the Greenville-Simpsonville, SC area? My parents are supposed to drive from Philly to Roanoke, VA this afternoon to go to Simpsonville tomorrow to see my grandparents. My grandparents don't drive so I can't rely on them to tell me how bad it actually is down there.  Is it even going to be possible for my parents to get into Simpsonville tomorrow or are there many roads closed in the area? I've been on the phone all morning trying to convince my Dad not to leave until Sunday but not really getting far, I don't think he realizes how hard they got hit.

Lost cell tower service for a bit. Now it's spotty. Whats left of the eyewall came through with lightning and intense rain and wind

[buckeyefan1]

Outside my front door  

[mstr4j]

98% of Spartanburg County without power and 90% of greenville county without power.  I don't think people and school systems understand the extent of the cleanup and restoring power.  It is going to take a long time

I'm in Greenville/Mauldin right next to Simpsonville. Most of the county including myself has no power. 90% of Greenville County is out of power. Trees down near me including my backyard. No traffic lights near me, tree blocking main rd near me. Not sure when they will get to us but since it's so widespread, it might take longer. I'm suspecting Simpsonville is more of the same. The weather will be fine as soon as this afternoon but cleanup might take awhile. Hope you had helps.

My in-laws in Black Mountain, as of an hour ago, had received over 10.5 inches of rainfall since midnight. They have since had to evacuate to Owen HS. The Asheville reservoir dam on the North Fork River is apparently very stressed. If it were to break, they would all be inundated…

[Disc]

Power has been flickering here now.. but still on as of now. Gusting mid 40mph range.

[Tyler Penland]

Just lost power. Getting scraped by this eyewall. Cell service is spotty. Over two feet of rain with 7 more inches since midnight.

Easily the scariest weather I've ever been in.

I'm in Camden, SC and we have a decent amount of trees and power lines down in the area.  The transmission line that supplies power to the city is damaged so all power is out here.  Duke owns the line and there is no estimate on when it will be repaired.
