Looks like this one is going to be a bear for yall westerly folks. A lot of rain, flooding, and slides. Stay safe, if you need anything holler. We have room if anyone needs a place to hole up.
A friend I went to college with is on Mills river fd and posted this just a few minutes ago. Same as Duane said, if anyone needs a place to stay, we have room.
Up to 14.25" of rain here so far.
In Fletcher where our business is, they're saying the French Broad will crest 10' above flood stage. Yard should be safe.
Mills River will get hit hard as well as Horse Shoe and Etowah as the FB flows right through them.
I'm 100% prepared for whatever happens.
These pics are from the Lake James campground in Marion from 2018. The lake rose to 103 Feet. Duke Power is calling for the lake to reach 110 feet! This would be the highest lake level since it was created. Would devastate the campground.
If we get any wind at all tonight, it is going to be real ugly.
It's really, really bad around here. We've hit 18" of rain and the worst part of the storm is about 2 hours out
Already lost a big locust around 430 am.
Waiting on daybreak to inspect the property

It's getting bad here too, I'm afraid we are about to see flooding like we've never seen before. I drove down towards town a few minutes ago and it was a big nope, I'm staying home today. I've never saw some of the creeks that big around here, it will be bad when all that makes it to the river.

Power went out at 0230 and is still out. The roof at my shop leaks pretty bad so at some point I'll have to check on it. In downtown the creeks were very high and also Mars Hill Waffle House has a giant sink hole next to it
You guys better go ahead and blow up your inflatable duckies. Iād come deliver aid, but Iāve never forded a river in an electric car before. Stay safe homies.
Got a little sporty in Charleston, SC last night but the worst seems over. Nothing compared to what y'all are seeing in WNC. Prayers for everyone in teh path of the storm.
