Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
They've updated our river systems expectations.. we're probably going to have to move shit. I'm glad I didn't build my home home on that river.
No problem up here. Not many clouds.

They were calling the lake to reach 101 this morning, I was called a little bit ago and was told it might reach 105. That'll be funky for us on the river, at least some places in our swamp. Our cabin and such we built after looking at the high water after Hugo. The 1000 year flood reached to the steps almost.. but our tractor shed, cook shed, where I keep my jon will be touch and go at 105.

It did, 101, maybe 102. Not near what 105 would do to us..
National Weather Service: 'One of the most significant weather events' for this area in modern era
Stephanie Moore
GREENVILLE, S.C. —
The National Weather Service in Greenville and Spartanburg issued an urgent message Thursday afternoon about Helene and the impacts to South Carolina.
It reads:
"This will be one of the most significant weather events to happen in the western portions of the area in the modern era. Record flooding is forecasted and has been compared to the floods of 1916 in the Asheville area. The impacts from this event are expected to be greater than Tropical Storm Fred from August 2021, the mountains in 2004 from Frances and Ivan, and in Upstate South Carolina the Saluda River Basin flooding from 1949. We plead with everyone that you take every single weather warning very seriously through the entirety of this event as impacts will be life-threatening and make sure to have multiple ways to receive the alerts. The protection of life and property is the overall mission of the National Weather Service, and we pledge to stand by the folks of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. We cannot stress the significance of this event enough. Heed all evacuation orders from your local Emergency Managers and go to a storm shelter if you do not feel safe at your current location.
"Hurricane Helene will make landfall later this evening near the Big Bend of Florida. Significant to catastrophic, life-threatening flooding will occur along and near the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Historic flooding will be possible in this area as an additional 9-14" of rainfall will be in store. Many landslides will occur as a result, with a few large and severely damaging slope failures or debris flows are likely.
"Possible hurricane-force gusts in the North Carolina mountains, northeast Georgia, and the western portion of Upstate South Carolina. 60-70 mph wind gusts possible elsewhere. The combination of strong winds and super saturated soils will lead to widespread trees down and numerous power outages."

Those mountain folks are going to have some problems.
At least I'm housebroken.
Hell we going to have problems statewide.
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
I went out at lunch and Anderson is covered up with tree and power trucks. I'm hoping this thing plays nice but it's not looking good. Were right on the worst edge of it. Tonight into the morning looks to be sporty.
Maybe it'll blow some f'n doves in
Wild. We haven't gotten much at the beach, but there is already a tree down across Jungle. Hendersonville is already flooded. I can't see the hype meeting reality. That big 1916 Asheville storm referenced, was due to two storms. One came onshore at Mobile and stalled out over the mountains whereupon a Cat2 hurricane came into Charleston and slammed into the other one. This isn't that...
Media makes every storm out these days to be the worst of all time-
5.5 inches of rain so far in Columbia Spring Valley area

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
