Yeah - I hate it for them, I spent a fair amount of time in that area (from 1994-2013) and know the area well. In 1996 Opal was devastating too - and I remember the Rocky Broad River flooding - everything in Bat Cave and Chimney Rock got flushed down the river and into Lake Lure - and destroyed Lake Lure and the old historic hotel. I remember they had barges with cranes pulling vehicles out of the lake for 2 weeks - it was weird to see.

I guess they have just started making circles instead of cones. Might work better for them.

I’m pretty sure some areas in the metro got more than that in a 2 day period in September 2009.

My in-laws live on a mountain near Spruce Pine/Banner Elk in NC. We are unable to reach them - phone calls going straight to voicemail. Does anyone know of somewhere I can see a map of police reports or anything like that?

Man I hate to hear this. There are a lot of people suffering over such a huge area. Folks should really consider themselves lucky if they came away from this without major problems. Truly a once in lifetime storm.

You could see this coming a mile away for Mtn Folks, eastern escarpment. Greenville NWS did a great job beating drum. Hate it for those folks.
NHC got face slapped and deservedly so. Go look in a month and 100 to 1 they will give themselves stellar track scores. Inland Track was a joke. All Im gonna say!

Honestly I didn’t want any damage. I just wanted my power to go out for like 5 minutes just to say that I was part of the storm lol.
