The wind was worse in some areas than Hugo. Hickory west and in the mountains. Flooding the worst since at least 1916.

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/pqCRXodusdmdTtxf/?mibextid=oFDknk Most of the shops in Marion close to the river are underwater. This isn't far from my house. Still no word on the damage.
-
While leaving I witnessed trees on power lines, many in the road, trees on houses, cars, flash flooding, signs blown over or crushed by trees and more.
-
I left the no service area safely and am in Virginia with the in laws. Still couldn't get to my house before we left but it doesn't look good. Not sure what's next other than determining how bad it is which will be tomorrow with nightfall approaching and the river still in flood.

Thank you. We are about to pack up and leave to somewhere with power. It will take days and weeks for McDowell and WNC to recover. Maybe even years. With the river at 21.5 I'm fairly certain my home is flooded. Glad I made be decision to leave. My prayers are with everyone. I dread the upcoming news

McDowell is a war zone. Trying to access my property but I can't even get there.

It's awful here in McDowell. Catawba has broken the record and may well go to 20 feet. I'm so worried I am going to lose everything. Water is spilling 7.5 feet over Lake Tahoma dam. If it's compromised the whole area is in big trouble
-
Lost cell tower service for a bit. Now it's spotty. Whats left of the eyewall came through with lightning and intense rain and wind
-
I thought the exact same
-
Some USGS gages are going offline. South Toe crashed out. Catawba only 1 foot below the record now
-
Yep. I knew a storm this size wouldn't be pulled so easily by the ULL.
-
Power is out here in Marion. At my sister's place that is far from water but elevated. Wind is getting frisky here already.. Catawba closing in on 15 feet. Record from Frances is 17.55. I think that record will shatter later. Question is will it get up to 20 feet. My house should be fine up to 20 feet.

Guess we'll see. I have it going through NE GA between Atlanta and Athens then up through NEGA.
-
Pretty much every model has it going east of Atlanta.
-
Rates are really picking up now.

I have decided to leave my house due to my proximity to the Catawba River and Lake Tahoma dam

If it's 1916 then my house is toast.

5.94 3 miles west of Marion
-
It's been heavy on and off here. Last night was crazy. If tonight is similar I can only imagine how bad it could get.
-
ICON is way east
-
Luckily the rain today has been pretty tame allowing rivers to continue to drop slowly.
-
FWIW both NAMS landfall around Perry
-
A lot of Mets are talking about the eastward shift they have noticed and they expect NHC to move more east at 11 am.
-
I have noticed that too. That is very bad for us in the foothills and mountains for NC.
-
The Catawba crested at minor flood over 13 ft but will undoubtedly rise again later today. Western McDowell got it bad. I'm at 5.24 the last 24 hours and 6.09 since Monday.
