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/video.
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.

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.

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.

How are you calling anywhere else racist when Oregon literally had laws banning black people until 1926?

That's like how Arizona had a law on the books banning abortion since 1648. It hasn't been in force since the 1860s.
The law against black immigration is from the Bleeding Kansas era when free black people basically didn't exist (I'm oversimplifying, but you know what I mean) and there was a fear that the slaveowners would try the same shit here. After all, that's what the entire Civil War was all about, them wanting to take over the western states.
In the entire history of Oregon we had one black guy lynched and that was before 1926 when according to you he shouldn't have possibly been here.

Clearly he got lynched for being there
If they were just worried about slaves being imported why did they forcibly evict existing black settlers?

Jesus Fricking Christ, have you been reading The Root and thinking it was real?

No, just the law itself.
Section 6: That if such free negro or mulatto shall fail to quit the country, as required by this act, he or she may be arrested upon a warrant issued by some justice of the peace, and, if guilty upon trial before such justice, shall receive upon his or her bare back not less than twenty nor more than thirty-nine stripes, to be inflicted by the constable of the proper county.
I guess it's possible they wrote it into law and never enforced it (I haven't checked), but the threat to move or else seems pretty clear?

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