Thoughts and Prayers :pray: for western North Carolina :marseyflagncthumbsup: they got hit by flooding not seen in recorded history. :marseyflood:

Each yellow mark is an impassable road that has been labeled so far. Lots of mudslides and roads being completely washed away.

Before and after of a place called Chimney Rock. This was their entire downtown.

Some other pictures.

As you can see this is in the mountains and complicates things quite a bit. Western NC has been deemed closed.

Asheville is inaccessible by road, they're all washed out. No electricity, gas, land lines, or even cell service because the floods took out the cell tower and the data center that handles the calls. The rivers reached 24.6ft(7.4 meters). A group of amateur pilots has set up a gofundme to airdrop supplies into the city. :marseyplanecrash: The Cajun Navy :marseysailor: has dispatched and rescue helicopters are buzzing about.

There is a megathread here but it's very boring and mostly people trying to get in touch with loved ones. :marseyhope:

Some boomerbook group seems to be the only people getting any messages out of certain areas and I'm not sure if they're real.

I have a friend that lives over there. Finally got in contact with them this morning but they still haven't been able to reach their parents. :marseycringe:

Shit's REALLY bad, particularly in/around asheville. Lots and lots of buildings and vehicles totaled by flood damage.

Internet including cellular is largely disabled, with cell tower backup generators running out of fuel mid day yesterday.

Mountains cause storms to drop water. When a storm has to climb up a mountain it will reach lower air temperatures which will cause it to drop its water. Most flooding from hurricanes actually happens in the mountains. The first mountain range it hit was in North Carolina

Look at Oregon. We go from the wettest part of the country to literal desert in about 50 miles when you hit the high mountains.

Congratulations on having such great forests that are famous around the entire world. Oh wait, you don't, dipshit. Maybe you should stick to your state's specialties: wearing cowboy hats and sucking each other's peepees.

It rains a lot like 5 days a year. I can't take it! :soycry:

Tell me when you get the kind of sustained rainfall that the soil can actually absorb so it can support a real forest.

Your main exports are shit quality lumber from gay-butt little trees around Biloxi and racism. You'll never know what a real forest is because you have such a bad climate. I bet you've never even seen a fern in your life. Go frick yourselves.

A stormfront hit the area and caused minor flooding before the hurricane arrived. They got double whammy'd.
