    Went up to South Toe and areas of Yancey and Mitchell today and I can't even speak of the devastation. South Toe River as many of us know it and love it is gone.

    Jesus that's awful

    The entire month of October could have no recorded rainfall for some foothills areas if the GFS and Euro are correct. It’s nice to dry out but the dust is awful from all the mud drying up.

    FEMA is supposed to check the damage to our farm equipment and mowers but hasn't reached out. I know some people who they have already done inspections with. It seems hit and miss

    I got my check in days as did almost everyone I know. Sorry you had that issue

    FEMA assistance has been pretty easy here. It's certainly not a perfect system though. My uncle in a remote part of Yancey got a free generator from FEMA. People looking for issues will find them if they dig deep enough. Unfortunately this has turned into a political situation and some are really enjoying that. Its a shame that party affiliation means more than suffering lives.

    I worked with DHS, CAP and others today assisting with water truck fill ups in Asheville. Have to give World Central Kitchen a shout out for all the free meals they are serving the folks in Asheville.

    First 30s of the season-39 no frost yet.

    I stand by this. Helene had a similar or higher surge in places 50-200 miles away from where it made landfall. Milton was a prolific tornado producer and had some 100 mph gusts in an urban area but Helene was a larger, more powerful storm at landfall.

    Was 46 last night. Frost looks possible next week even for us foothills folks. Hope everyone is recovering from Helene.

    Center looks to come right into the bay

    Tampa is going to get whats left of the eyewall that seems almost assured.

    Euro shows reather pronounced weakening this run right before landfall. Almost 20 mb weaker in 12 hours leading up to landfall.
  16. wncsnow
    Some people still think Helene was a Category 2 at landfall.

    We are going to be above average ACE for sure. Could get to 20 named storms after all too.

    You mean this guy who's been charged with fraud? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Lee_Riches

    Not where I am.

    That's just for food losses. You can get more depending on how badly your property was affected. They break down damages into different criteria including flood damage.

    Almost every stream I have encountered is flowing differently and in new areas.

    We are good. The river missed us by about 15-20 feet. We lost all of our lawn equipment and a shed but I feel so blessed compared to others.

    In my opinion, the hundreds dead and thousands of people suffering from this storm don't give a f@&k

    The devastation along the Catawba and it's tributaries is astonishing. We returned home today but it's almost like a new place. The river destroyed much of the vegetation along the banks and left silt and mud everywhere.

    Well said. Glad you are doing well. Still no power at the house.
