Man, this is heartbreaking.  I just spent a week near banner elk back in July.    gorgeous country and I love it there.  Always depressed when I have to go back home to the coast.  Have been seriously considered moving there

 

We have seen these sort of things here in the eastern part of the state with floyd and Florence and fran....and I could keep going and they are terrible.

 

All I can say is it certainly changes things but it will be built back.  

I un derstand though, hard to think about that when you are currently in the middle of it all.

One of the favorite places for my wife and I to go for several years has been the Asheville/Black Mountain area. We'd go there for anniversary trips and every once in a while take the kids up there. We've been talking about retiring up that way and aside from being expensive we worried about the winter weather, but we love the area so much it would be worth it. Never thought about the effects of flooding there.

Look at the amount of creeks and rivers in the area on this map. That map isn't as clear. So, here's a screenshot.

The area probably should have never been as built up as it was allowed to get.

A big part of the reason we love it so much was just because of the people we met up there. So open and welcoming of everyone.

Now so much tragedy. It's a heart breaker for sure

I have friends and family up that way. I was thinking of joining them in a few years. Now I'm not so sure. The cold I think I am ready for. That flooding and mudslides are not. Still waiting to hear from most of them.

Might want to learn how to use smoke signals!😄

Joking aside, hopefully the phone companies will get at least some service back up in a couple of weeks at worst. But as bad as it looks, it might be a while.

Goes back to engineering. It's why they built that big ass aqueduct under LV so the city wouldn't wash away. Water has to go somewhere and there it's picking up speed as it descends. Anything grandfathered in from newer changes was just washed away. It cost so much money to build and maintain that it gets hard to get the public behind those kinds of projects.

It's amazing how fast we go back to the basics.

I have no idea. The level of messed up to the level of cost to the level of time it takes to do those kinds of projects is beyond my imagination. I think anyone without flood insurance just got fugged too. It's usually the first thing an agent tries to cut off when they are pitching prices. I had to ask mine and because I have a basement they said it would only cover flood damage at the first floor and above. Freaking scammy system.

I'm afraid people with flood insurance up there will still be fugged. The insurance companies are not going to pay out the tens/hundreds of millions that have been lost. As you said, insurance is a scam.

I'm way too familiar. Get a private adjuster and fight them. It will be federal at that level and lots of new SBA loans to cover some of the rest. They need helicopters just to access most of it apparently. I'm sure the glut of info will come in when they get people to better locations...which is a whole other freaking issue. Lots of that is going to be uninhabitable for a while going into winter.

I'm in the mountains near Asheville NC and we are supposed to get heavy rain on top of the rain we've gotten in the last 24 hours. The storm hasn't even started here yet and there is already flooding everywhere. 

Hope you are doing okay, brother.

Where is the floodwater going?

All the videos of the flooding up there I kept wondering where all that water is going to go.

not to sound like a smartass, but water runs down hill, always has. as my old friend said many times "theres limits to everything".  dam can only hold so much, same for creeks, rivers. It takes time to reach the ocean or absorb into the ground. no matter where you are 40inches of fast down fall is a problem, if in a valley, well not many are ready for a 1,000 year flood.

brother the worst thing these insurance companies do in these cases is file for bank bankruptcy, its happened so much on the coast-line and FL. Then no one gets paid and people stay hella mad the rest theres lives...

      Cam Ward.....opinions (AKA A Thread About Shedeur Sanders)

      By CRA · Posted

      For the absurd sack situation….yes, that’s Deion and his son big picture.  I watch them.  There D sucks.  But most conferences have bad D.  They could win more games with better coaching. When you are given example you ignore them and call it Deion hate. They got OL talent for the Big12.  Deion bought it.  They are just poorly coached and schemed given the entire purpose of Deion coaching in HS, Jackson St and now Colorado is creating his son in a football player/star.  He won’t be coaching college football much longer….and that’s because his job will be done.  Shedeur will go pro.

      Andy Dalton QB School week 3

      By strato · Posted

      Considering those were no doubt top level throws, you take those when they come. I don't think you could say he can't make them; because he just did.  So maybe you say he doesn't consistently make them, I say 'who does?'.  I don't see how you can look at the overall total picture and say that was backup QB flukey stuff and he'll not be able to do that on the regular.  I am for sure not saying he won't miss some throws but what he showed is if he gets the protection he got and makes the right read I think he can eat like a top half of the league QB. I am much more wary of less than perfect communication with the receivers as opposed to lack of physical execution.

      BREAKING: Giants looking to trade for Brian Burns

      By Waldo · Posted

      That and lots of anger over how everything went down here at that time. Rhule's 3rd year and those offenses even leaning on CMC completely were really bad. They also held him out because it was so bad and they knew he was keeping their jobs for him. I believe his first year with the 49ers he was coming off 2 years of heavy rest and they used him very well but he still left 2 games (?) early and was dealing with some stuff that didn't prevent him from playing fully.  Some people just had an axe to grind with him and still pops up once in a while. Of all the problems at that time CMC was a freaking blip on any negatives compared to so many other issues.
