...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...Portions of northeast Georgia, including the following
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...Through Friday 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. A couple of large, damaging debris flows are
possible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected due to the
interaction of tropical moisture along a stationary front,
followed by the passage of Tropical Storm Helene. Storm-total
rainfall of 10-15 inches with locally higher amounts is
expected along the entire length of the Blue Ridge Escarpment
with widespread 5-9 inches expected across the remainder of
the mountains. This has the potential to be an extremely rare
event with dangerous catastrophic flash-flooding along
numerous streams.
- 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.

SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall over the Florida
Panhandle Thursday evening and race north into Georgia and the western
Carolinas. Significant flash flooding and mainstem flooding is likely
Thursday into early Friday, especially along the Blue Ridge
Escarpment. Wind gusts of 40-50 MPH will be associated with Helene as the
storm tracks just west of the County Warning Area Thursday night into
Friday morning. The combination of saturated soils and strong wind
gusts will result in numerous trees down, leading to numerous power
outages. Numerous landslides may occur across the mountains, with a
couple of large, damaging debris flows/slope failures. An isolated
tornado or two can`t be ruled out during this event as well.
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 hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across most
of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. Potential impacts
include:
- Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
- Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
- A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
bridges and other elevated roadways.
- Scattered power and communications outages.
* TORNADOES:
Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts
across the western Carolinas and NE Georgia. Potential impacts
include:
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution
of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power
and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys
toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned,
large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees
knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats
pulled from moorings.
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.
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.
