drfranklin Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 This is interesting and I think warranted. I live in Greenville, SC and wonder why the mountains of Northern Greenville, Pickens, and Oconee counties were not included - elevations there can exceed 3,000 feet. It's also interesting to see the differences in watch/warning criteria between GSP (western NC), MRX (far eastern TN), and Blacksburg (northwest NC).
