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.

Flood Warning
Flood Statement
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
1254 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024
...The Flood Warning is extended for the following rivers in South
Carolina...
Saluda River Near above Old Easley Rd, 5 W Greenville affecting
Pickens and Greenville Counties.
Saluda River At West Pelzer affecting Anderson and Greenville
Counties.
.Two unique rounds of rainfall, one ongoing and continuing through
early this afternoon resulting from tropical moisture
interacting with a stationary front, and another beginning tonight
and lasting through Friday morning associated with Hurricane
Helene, are expected to result in considerable to catastrophic
Major flooding across the upper Saluda River Valley. This flooding
has the potential to be the worst flooding observed in the modern
era, exceeding even the flooding which occurred on February 6-7,
2020, and rivaling the flooding from 1949.
This flooding may shutdown several roadways. especially above
Piedmont Dam to the Saluda River headwaters above Saluda Lake. A
few roadways may experience strong and damaging streamflows,
possibly causing damage to roadway infrastructure including culverts
and bridges. Several structures, including homes and businesses,
are likely to be inundated as a result of Major flooding. A few
structures may become uninhabitable and some structures may become
completely destroyed due to ruinous flooding.
Confidence in significant rainfall is 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...
To escape rising water, take the shortest path to higher ground.
Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
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
