Bryson and cherokee are filled with short term rentals. Batcave and chimney rock are still a mess and rather remote I swear it seems like I’ve been looking forever On 5/19/2026 at 7:44 PM, Maggie Valley Steve said: Unfortunately we experienced investors swoop in during COVID and establish near 500 new properties for short term rentals. It killed the year round local hosts and certainly Helene didn't help. That said we're getting booking frequently now, perhaps we've turned a corner. They’re everywhere. Even here. Anything close to affordable and decent is being bought by investment companies before anyone can get their offer in. It’s rough sigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Another .75 inch here. 1.5 for the last 2 days. I have been in a good spot. I am sure that I will move out of the good spot eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Moderate rain with thunder. I'd like you folks input on starting our own SE Region Tropical thread. I know how much trauma Helene brought to our Mountain neighbors. My primary weather focus has always been tropical going up along the Upper Texas Coast. The SE Region covers a tremendous amount of Coastline from Mississippi to the Outer Banks. El Ninos tend to throw a curveball or two not far offshore. If you think the SE posters would participate, let me know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Steve, IMO it’s not needed because: -An ATL trop. thread already exists each year, with a big increase in posts when the SE is threatened: -When there are specific storm threats to the SE, I’ve started threads on those storms in SE region and probably would again if nobody else does. But even then, there were more posts in the main thread as tropical posts here were kind of limited. -So, I don't think a 2nd general trop thread is needed here. I suggest posting in the general thread and then also in any individual storm SE threat if they’re created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
