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. 
The Cajun Navy 
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. 
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.
Shout out to @BartholomewRoberts who had this to say about the hurricane yesterday.

It's shitty but the people that live in Asheville are insufferable. Not saying they deserved it. Hope they were wearing their Covid masks.

They have a lot of "alternative" types there. Folx not folks. It's the Portland of Appalachia, and also somehow the only place I've seen a black guy get called BIPOC by confederate flag waving rednecks. I try to drive around it when possible.
