Don't overlook the Western Carolinas & Virginia, and perhaps Eastern Kentucky. I have family in Asheville, NC and just outside Greenville, SC, and both have been reporting that flooding had already started for them this morning due to the huge wave of rain pushed over them by Helene. If she keeps sending them rain, there will be some massive flooding in the Smokey Mountains and the Piedmont of the Carolinas. I was in Asheville for Frances (2004) some low areas had 10-20 feet of flood water. We were out shopping (not realizing the amount of rain coming) and had to find an alternate route home because the way we got to the store was under about 6 feet of water in the hour we were in the store! If the numbers on the NHC's estimated rainfall amounts are even close, this will likely be much worse for those areas, too. |
