SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Helene made landfall just before midnight Thursday in the
Big Bend of Florida. Helene is currently over eastern Georgia.
Significant, potentially catastrophic flash flooding and major to
record mainstem river flooding is expected over portions of the
western Carolinas and northeast Georgia through this afternoon,
especially along the Blue Ridge escarpment. Wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph
with up to 80 mph across the higher ridge tops will be associated with
Helene as the center of the storm tracks just west of the County
Warning Area through this morning. The combination of saturated soils
and strong wind gusts will result in widespread downed trees, leading
to numerous power outages. Numerous landslides will occur across the
mountains, with large, damaging debris flows or slope failures likely.
Several brief tornadoes are also possible, mainly across the Piedmont.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
devastating impacts across the North Carolina mountains, northeast
Georgia, and Upstate South Carolina. Potential
impacts include:
- Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations and
rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their banks
in many places with deep moving water. Small streams, creeks,
canals, arroyos, and ditches may become raging rivers. In
mountain areas, deadly runoff may rage down valleys while
increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood
control systems and barriers may become stressed.
- Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover escape
routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of raging water
with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become very
dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures with some weakened
or washed out.
* WIND:
Protect against dangerous wind having possible significant impacts
across the western North Carolina mountains and northeast Georgia and
the western Upstate South Carolina. Potential impacts in this area
include:
- Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage
to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings
experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile
homes damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured lightweight
objects become dangerous projectiles.
- Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater
numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several
fences and roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, and access
routes impassable.
- Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent
in areas with above ground lines.
Also, protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts
across the remainder of the western Carolinas.
* TORNADOES:
Protect against a dangerous tornado event having possible significant
impacts across the eastern South Carolina Piedmont and the North
Carolina Piedmont. Potential impacts
include:
- The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution
of emergency plans during tropical events.
- Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots
of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures.
- Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or
uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed about.
Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.
Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts
across the rest of the Piedmont and Foothills of the western Carolinas and
northeast Georgia.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
Follow the advice of local officials.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to complete all preparations to protect life and
property in accordance with your emergency plan. Ensure you are in a
safe location before the onset of strong winds or possible flooding.
If you are relocating to safe shelter, leave as early as possible.
Allow extra time to reach your destination. Many roads and bridges
will be closed once strong winds arrive. Check the latest weather
forecast before departing and drive with caution.
It is important to remain calm, informed, and focused during an
emergency. Be patient and helpful with those you encounter.
Rapidly rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood-prone
area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a flooded
roadway. Remember, turn around don`t drown!
If a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, be ready to shelter
quickly, preferably away from windows and in an interior room not
prone to flooding. If driving, scan the roadside for quick shelter
options.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets
for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes
to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather
warnings.

area, Rabun, western North Carolina, including the following
areas, Avery, Buncombe, Burke Mountains, Caldwell Mountains,
Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Macon, Madison, McDowell Mountains,
Mitchell, Northern Jackson, Polk Mountains, Rutherford Mountains,
Southern Jackson, Swain, Transylvania and Yancey, and upstate
South Carolina, including the following areas, Greenville
Mountains, Oconee Mountains and Pickens Mountains.
* WHEN...Until 2 PM EDT this afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in significant and damaging
flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and
flood-prone locations. Areas that are not typically impacted by
floodwaters may flood. Numerous landslides are possible in areas
of steep terrain. Multiple large, damaging debris flows are
likely.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Bands of heavy rain will continue to move across the Watch
area through the morning. Considerable to catastrophic flash
flooding is ongoing across portions of the mountains this
morning and additional rainfall of 3 to 6 inches with
locally higher amounts is expected across much of the area.
This is an extremely rare event with dangerous catastrophic
and life threatening flash-flooding along numerous streams
expected.
- http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flood Watch for flash flooding means there is a potential for
rapid onset flooding based on current forecasts. Flash flooding is a
very dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typically
flood. Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take
action quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been
associated with an increased risk of landslides and rockslides. If
you live on a mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain,
especially near a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm
or as quickly as possible should rising water, moving earth, or
rocks threaten. Consider postponing travel along mountain roads
during periods of heavy rainfall.
Low-lying areas adjacent to streams, including campgrounds, are
especially vulnerable to flooding. If you live or are vacationing
next to a stream, please have a plan in place to seek higher ground
once heavy rainfall develops. Flash floods can occur quickly and
overwhelm adjacent low-lying areas with little warning. Once the
stream starts to rise, you may only have minutes to evacuate. Flash
floods can cause catastrophic damage and be powerful enough to sweep
away campers, vehicles, and mobile homes. Consider temporarily
relocating away from streams until the heavy rainfall threat passes.

National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
948 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024
...The Flood Warning continues for the following rivers in North
Carolina...
French Broad River At Marshall affecting Madison County.
French Broad River Near Hot Springs affecting Madison County.
French Broad River At Blantyre affecting Transylvania and
Henderson Counties.
French Broad River At Asheville affecting Buncombe County.
French Broad River Near Fletcher affecting Henderson and Buncombe

Flood Warning
Flood Statement
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
948 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024
...The Flood Warning continues for the following rivers in North
Carolina...
French Broad River At Marshall affecting Madison County.
French Broad River Near Hot Springs affecting Madison County.
French Broad River At Blantyre affecting Transylvania and
Henderson Counties.
French Broad River At Asheville affecting Buncombe County.
French Broad River Near Fletcher affecting Henderson and Buncombe
Counties.
Swannanoa River At Biltmore affecting Buncombe County.
.Ongoing rain associated with Helene will continue overnight tonight
into Friday morning. Considerable to catastrophic Moderate to Major
flooding across much of the French Broad River and Swannanoa River
valleys is expected as a result of this extremely rare high
rainfall. This flooding has the potential to rival the Major,
catastrophic flooding observed in September 2004 from Hurricanes
Frances and Ivan, especially from the French Broad River headwaters
near Rosman and Blantyre to Asheville.
This flooding will shutdown numerous roadways. Several roadways
will experience strong and damaging streamflows, likely causing
damage to roadway infrastructure including culverts and bridges.
Primary roadways that do not typically flood will likely flood,
resulting in very significant impacts to travel. Travel may become
very difficult and dangerous. Numerous structures, including homes
and businesses, are likely to be inundated as a result of Major
flooding. Many structures may become uninhabitable and some
structures may become completely destroyed due to ruinous flooding.
There is a potential for crests to exceed the current forecast
crests. Confidence in significant rainfall is very high, but small
reductions or increases in storm-total rainfall may result in
notable changes to the forecast crests. It is absolutely imperative
that you maintain awareness of the latest forecasts and plan NOW to
respond to the worst-case scenario for your area.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive
cars through flooded areas.
When it is safe to do so, please report flooding or landslides
threatening roads or property to the National Weather Service
Greenville-Spartanburg by calling toll free, 1, 800, 2 6 7, 8 1 0 1,
by posting on our Facebook page, or via X using hashtag NWSGSP. Your
message should describe the specific location where impacts occurred
and the depth of flooding observed.
To escape rising water, take the shortest path to higher ground.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite source of weather
information for the latest updates. Additional details can be found
