Major flooding for a lot of the Carolinas and surrounding areas. Be safe out there.

Same to you my brotha.

I'm out here in Northern California now so I didn't even know there was a hurricane near NC/SC. Keep Pounding brothers and sisters.

Yikes cat 4 now.

Might be tropical storm force winds all the way up in to NW Georgia. I just want to keep my power. 

Good luck to all of Y’all especially if you’re close to this thing.

I just drove from jacksonville(rough) to rdu, it flood rain'd half the time. Had a stop for carolina bbq and the amount of water ponds I ran through was insane. Even the lifted truckers necks were going slow.

I'm in the mountains near Asheville NC and we are supposed to get heavy rain on top of the rain we've gotten in the last 24 hours. The storm hasn't even started here yet and there is already flooding everywhere.

20 foot surges in Florida, that place will be. A mess.

From Charleston but working in Aiken.  Gonna be a wet few days.  Looks like it just upgraded to Cat IV.  Y'all stay safe.

When I took some geology classes at App State we were shown large landslide features and it was hypothesized to be from tropical systems coming from the gulf. 

Word is that this has the potential to be the worst flooding event in recorded history in the area. 

It has potential to cause serious flooding and mud slides. I really hope this is an overreaction.

Im just north of Asheville and the creek in our front yard looks like the Amazon. Hope we don’t lose power tonight. If we get any high winds it will get ugly.

There's no way this will be worse than 1916. That was two back to back hurricanes within a week. The second one dropped upwards of 20" in a 24 hour period on already completely saturated land and swollen streams. That's the one that wiped out the town of Mortimer on Wilson Creek. Wilson Creek crested at 94 feet through the gorge. This will probably be the worst flooding in the last 20 years or so though. It ain't nothing to sneeze.

My good friend in Brevard said it was a complete poo show with the flooding
