Sorry to hear that. Hurricanes show no mercy.

Why was NC hit so hard?   Seems wild.   Amount of rain or wind?   Or both?   Asheville got hammered.

I live about 80 miles east of all the damage. I was watching on the radar as it was coming up Georgia and South Carolina. It moved very fast until it got to North Carolina then it stalled out over western North Carolina. The storm on the radar grew as it was coming up through. The rain that normally would have been dumped in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina was still in the Helena when it arrived in North Carolina. Then it stalled when it hit the mountains for some reason. Some areas got 20 to 30 inches of rain in a very short period of time. Worse flooding I've ever seen.

Yes, it’s like it stalled out, which is usually caused by conflicting fronts.  When asked for his prediction for the rest of this season, my favorite meteorologist said the country will likely be hit by four more storms, two will probably be hurricane level.

September-October is always the high alert time of year for us.  Particularly those storms that get into the gulf as those water temps are so warm this time of year.   My biggest concern for this month is a storm that is able to develop enough that it forms an eyewall before entering the gulf.  If that happens, it's going to be very bad news for wherever it goes.

The terrain in the mountains is another huge factor. Funneling all that water into 20 or 30 creeks and rivers is a recipe for disaster. Had that area been flatter the flooding would have been bad but not nearly as destructive. But the stalling of that massive storm really made this a huge destructive disaster.

Models for this Tuesday/Wednesday.  All have it hurricane strength, on of them as a major.  More concerned about how much rain. We’re pretty saturated around here.  
 

Off for a little paddle around the island at Fort Myers Beach, see how much progress they’ve made since last week.  Happy weekend all!
