The NWS forecast was prescient and correct.

Change of plans. Just stocked the car. Headed up to the Boone area with cases of water and some prepackaged food. Any requests please reply and tell me where you are. Please don’t thank me, just tell me where to direct the stuff to where it’s needed most

To the residents of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia:

We have confirmed an EF-0 tornado in the Wedgefield/Shaw AFB area and an EF-1 tornado southwest of Orangeburg near Cordova. More details will be available tmrw. We still have additional surveys to complete. Thanks for your patience as we work our way through this complex event.

Man, talk about emotion, and tears just pouring out. Talk about a situation worse than you can imagine, and a team galvanizing for a win. ETSU head coach Tre Lamb, literally in tears talking about the Helene ordeal. Stuck in a homeless shelter parking lot. No cell service.

THREAD: Today we flew in Chopper9 for nearly 5 hours to get a look at the damage in Western North Carolina. What we saw was devastating. WSOCTV These are some of the images: 📍Riverside Dr NW Charlotte

Toll is 24 since this tweet, two shy of the number of deaths in Hurricane Hugo. Reading about them is 💔.

Saturday, Joshua Boucher 🔥 and I were out in Saluda County, where loss, damage and powerlessness weighed heavy, but the community showed its resolve. thestate.com/news/weather-n…

Day 3 of Helene-related outages beginning with an eye-popping 900,000+ ppl in SC still without power. That’s nearly 1 in 5 of us.

A dispatch from my sister in Asheville:

The Congaree at Columbia is now forecast to reach Major flood stage late tonight & crest at 31.0 feet early tomorrow afternoon. This crest is near the 2015 value of 31.8 feet. Interests near the river need to take necessary actions including along the Broad river. #Helene #scwx

We were trapped in Lake Lure near #Asheville this weekend with three kids, no power, no phone service and a dwindling food supply. We only got out because some amazing souls led us through backroads for two hours to help us get to a freeway before that route flooded over

Status update

JUST IN: No school for Lexington One tomorrow.

Hurricane Helene resulted in significant damage throughout our community, incl. widespread power/internet outages, impassable roads, and property damage. As a result, all schools and offices will be closed on Monday, September 30, 2024. Full statement: tinyurl.com/4m428u3h

Estimate Times of Restoration are now available at the county level: bit.ly/47OnEXC We appreciate your patience as we completed damage assessments in order to provide estimates you can rely on. Crews will continue to work to get power back on for all customers.

The Congaree River looks to crest as high, or higher than it did during the "1,000 year flood" of 2015 on Monday. thestate.com/news/local/art…

With the Congaree River forecast to reach Major Flood Stage, the Richland County EMD PIO worked with us along with state and local officials to create a press release regarding the situation. For more information, visit richlandcountysc.gov. #scwx
