Rough day in the foothills. Lots of damage in both Burke and Caldwell counties. The dam at Rhodhiss is now open, which will spell even more damage downstream. I haven’t seen this lake in such rough shape outside of Helene. I went down to the neighborhood docks a bit ago and it smells awful - not a sewage scent but a rotted plant/earth smell. Furniture, trees, you name it coming down the waterway. Chocolate milk brown as you can imagine.

I look forward to the county telling me that water restrictions need to remain in place next week

Getting smoked one final time

Could be an interesting night. I had what I thought was a brief break per radar but no, it was still pouring. That’s what 2” PWATS will do.

I really got fooled into believing we were back. Gotta get that damn headset away from Dowell Loggains and give it to DJ Smith. I’ve seen enough.

Ugliest game I’ve laid my eyes on

We’ll get better forcing this evening but this may just end up being a good beneficial rain event.

That’s putting it mildly too! Very anxious this evening.

Please no

Numerous mesovorticies dancing around that eyewall

Per recon, it’s flirting with cat 4. It’s defying all of the odds. Never bet against a Gulf cane.

While I know it’s not a Helene, our area hasn’t really been tested since that storm. I’m nervous about what this could knock loose - both land and trees that may still be hanging by a thread.

Ticking east every run. Good call.

How many more wobbles east should I allow before I start to get nervous?
