Yeah Irene in the Catskills for sure. But it's also similar to what we went through a couple of weeks ago in the Oxford CT area, albeit less widespread. And Vermont, several times in the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTC3-LAST CHANCE Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Anyone see any storm surge reports in the Big Bend area, east of Tallahassee, where the eye hit? Amazing how that stuff gets buried once the big pop areas get missed. Just wondering, cuz to me sometimes the max storm surge forecasts seem a bit silly high, kinda like the winds, which at ground level really don’t get near the 140, with gusts to 155 range. Highest winds i saw was 107. Hate, hate that. Did surge really get to the 15-20 range, which was the 130 range forecast?? And it was 140. Old Cranky bitch, and i totally agree there. Truly, Capt. Clueless. I’m really not. Yes you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StretchCT Posted September 28 Author Moderators Share Posted September 28 Steinhatchee had 15 foot surge. The Tampa area had record surge. Not a lot of people live in the Big Bend area right on the water. Cedar Key was pretty much under water but I don't have the actual surge. But this was the water level real vs predicted. So 11 feet? This is the closest station to Perry but it doesn't have the predicted/expected water level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Snow Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 What NC went through is horrible, lives, towns lost and changed forever. Here in SW Va it was not really more than expected, have to thread through downed trees and utilities in several spots to get out of the neighborhood, but complaining about that seems like crying over a mosquito bite to the guy who was mauled by a grizzly. 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undertakerson2.0 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) I (finally) got to hear from our friends and family (in laws) that live in W NC from Boone down to Cherokee and over to Ashville region (where the wife and I honeymooned and visit on the regular). They are physically fine - I don't imagine they are just yet capable of fully processing what their tomorrows will look like. They asked for donations to the local Red Cross Chapters across the region - specifically said DO NOT come down and "try to help". At the very least, say a little prayer for them to make it to the next day. Edited September 28 by Undertakerson2.0 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Snow Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I have had many fantastic trips to Boone, Asheville, Hendersonville, and other places in western NC. Seems unbelievable what has happened. I know those folks will recover and rebuild but the pain and loss will be felt for a very long time to come. Prayers for all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real. Being without power isn't worth complaining about when a lot of people aren't with us anymore or have had their whole houses washed away. I'll fire up the grill and cook what I can before it goes bad. I'll wait it out patiently until the power is restored and you'll not hear me whine. I'll be busy counting my blessings and praying for those not as fortunate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing electric and cell service is still out. We can see and know the devastation of FL - kind of relatively accessible. However the W NC region is far less accessible and we might not know their entire story until next week sometime. I hope your folks can get word out sooner than that somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Sentinel Posted September 28 Admin Share Posted September 28 2 hours ago, btbucks said: Still haven't heard from my parents yet. They live around Tryon, NC. We've been to Chimney Rock many times. I live just south of Greenville City in SC. Cell phone service is spotty. I have family in Tryon - We can't make it up there currently and there is absolutely no cell phone service. Electricity is out everywhere and is expected to be for quite some time. There are no updates on the potential for restoration of power in the Western Carolinas, though over 90%+ of the substations are reportedly significantly damaged and Transmission and Substransmision lines are so damaged, we may be redoing much of the grid to get everyone back on line. That withstanding, reports of deaths and injuries are LOW. Keep that in mind. Likewise, the weather is cool, so people are not struggling as much as they could be. I know it's not much solace, but I wanted to provide at least some good news. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so - the best thing you -or anyone- could do would be to call emergency services, alert them of the post and convey all the information possible to them. Let them know the address, contact information and request for rescue along with number of souls requesting rescue, including age and species. That is the best way, imo, anyone in this situation can help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thankfully, there is a group down there who have reached out telling anyone who needs air support/supplies to let them know. I heard they are inundated with requests and I don't know if Courtney et al, had service to make the appeal. I know others on that feed have offered suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
