Hurricane Helene

[LinvilleGorge]

Obviously the Florida gulf coast is going to take the brunt if it but here in Panthersdom this is looking like a potential biblical flooding event for southern Appalachia. We had a big line of heavy thunderstorms come through last night and a lot of streams were already at flood levels, now a drenching hurricane behind that. They're saying Lake James will hit it's highest point ever. They're expecting it 10' over the spillway. It's already spilling over.

Last forecast I saw was cat 3 and while that is fug-all dangerous my comment was more targeted at the apocalyptic language.

 

Yes its bad

No its not going to obliterate the panhandle

You said life ending now apocalyptic.

 

People lose their life in hurricanes. You always take hurricanes seriously no matter the size.

 

Wind can easily knock down a tree and land on someone's house. Flooding can cause loss of life. Tornadoes form from these massive hurricane outer bands. Multiple things can happen from a hurricane that cause a threat to your life.
