  1. At a minimum, this will really help with the dust problem in the disaster areas
  2. I was looking back at some of the wind damage from this storm and man. It was such an unusual setup from that standpoint. To have hurricane force gusts region wide in western NC from a gulf storm is something I still can’t wrap my brain around 3 weeks later.
  3. lol. I just put more 20-0-0 on my fescue and bluegrass. I’m afraid I’ll be mowing until Christmas again.
  4. As beautiful as it is, I hate this for folks who’ve lost needed warm clothes, shelter and heat.
  5. I’ve missed this weather so much
  6. I’ve been on the fence with this issue. I think both cases can be true. FEMA is helping but there’s also plenty of reason to say it hasn’t been enough.
  7. Over two weeks later and it’s still surreal to me that this event happened the way it did. I love weather as much as anyone on here but it’s been hard to even look at forecasts the past few weeks. My appetite for appreciable weather has been subdued by this event tremendously.
  8. Per Tampa radar - the eye is about 85% closed now
  9. Honestly didn’t have the stomach to track this one after what I’ve seen since the 27th. Probably a first for me.
  10. Been on the ground in western Watauga County. What many are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. This damage isn’t catastrophic, it’s biblical. Apocalyptic. God help our region.
  11. This is the most devastating impact imaginable for western NC. Literally our worst fears came to fruition. I’m praying for your family.
  12. Well. the gulf coast dreads the “I” names and I suppose the Carolina’s will forever dread the “H” names.
  13. These mesovorticies are insane. The eye is almost shaped like a triangle.
  14. Just zero meter the thing. We’re all weenies at heart that probably wanted to chase a cane at some point and this is coming to our doorstep (trying to find the smallest glimmer of light on this dimly lit evening).
  15. Ridge tops will experience 80 mph winds tomorrow but I will say conditions are deteriorating fast so be careful if you make that move now.
  16. Wondering the same about Boone and my Mountaineers. closing in on 5” for the day as well…YIKES!
  17. Mesovorticies starting to show up on the edge of Helene’s eye.
  18. Explosive and I mean EXPLOSIVE hot towers going up right now
  19. Them 2 days ago: don’t buy the unrealistically low pressure readings and winds on the models! today: ooooo this Texas sized cat 3 set to send the southeast into the Stone Age just isn’t cutting it
  20. I’d probably get torched for saying this elsewhere but it reminds me of Michael
  21. Too much banter in the tropical thread acting like this thing is underperforming. An almost Cat 3 of this size is going to have appreciably worse impacts than your recent compact 4s.
