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.

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?

There was some other law that made this invalid right after the Civil War. I'm not a lawyer and I can't be bothered to read about it again, but this was basically never a real thing outside of the 1850s.
This is all theoretical. It was not easy to get here. My people came here on the Oregon Trail on a fricking wagon. There were not a lot of black people in that era who had enough savings to buy a wagon and oxen and all the stuff you need to survive for months.
In WW2 (oversimplifying a lot here) there wasn't a lot of black people migrating here because there was a huge supply of Dust Bowl okies from places like the Dakotas.
So no, our current lack of
diversity 
is not a Nazi conspiracy. You ever notice nobody asks this about Seattle? They didn't supposedly have this law in Washington.

Yes, I get third law become invalid after the Civil War even if they didn't officially repeal until 1926.
No, that doesn't mean we still can't point and laugh at yall for calling anyone else racist
