A little shower this morning. Just enough to get the sidewalk wet.

Was at a friend’s house in Avery Creek yesterday and holy moly, that was one heck of a lightning storm. Hadn’t heard thunder that loud in a long time.

Yea. It’s one of those escarpment rainy days where hardly anything shows on radar but I’m just staying under steady rain all day.

You got me beat 2.5” but 1.5” of that came in a 30ish min span. Probably some the heaviest/most consistent rain I’ve seen in quite some time. It’s still just the nerves from Helene but I swear the water just drains and flows differently along the creeks, in my yard, in culverts, etc. Makes every rain a little nerve racking

Someone turn off the hose. This morning has been insane.

.21 here. Every batch that came close just disintegrated

I’m officially done with rain. Sign me up for a drier period

I’m ready to be done. Give me a few days of sunshine please.

This is exactly what I was worried about. Too much of a good thing. Heck, these storms/rains have barely moved in spots all evening. Really worried about my Bat Cave friends

Look out @wncsnowthis band coming through Old Fort means business. Probably my heaviest rates so far

@wncsnowWhere’d you end up between yesterday and today? Seems like Old Fort, Marion, and Morganton were in the sweet spot.

All of McDowell has been under the firehose since last night. Friends up in Asheville seem to have way less

Been getting hammered over the last 2 hours. I kinda forgot what a good soaking rain felt/sounded like

We have been locked into a steady shower all day. Been pleasant to be honest.

I know everyone’s excited about the rain but I really don’t like how the tropics are starting to fire up at the end of the model runs. It would be our luck to go from drought to a wet period followed by tropical mischief.
