Debris flows are wild. Just read a book and the setting was the Grand Canyon. They go into great detail about debris flows. Of course they are a little different and more intense than ones in the Appalachians, but nonetheless they are an incredible, and terrifying force of nature than can totally change land features.

No private drones
Did yall see this shite?
I’m having visions of people writing their final letters and putting them on their pockets or what not for when they’re found dead from lack of food/water and exposure.

There is a crap ton of air traffic in the area, government and private. Drones can interfere with those flights, and if every person with a drone decides to fly them randomly it becomes a problem. Grounding private/civilian drones, or requiring preapproval for flights is SOP. You see it all the time on wildfires and in areas with tornado damage.

Really cool to see. Small dent but since Gov tapped out spending on illegals it will help

Have you been under a rock? The damage is widespread and catastrophic.

Look at the fatalities by county and state lists on this site. Then tell your NC friends to stuff it.

205+ people are dead to this point, with half of that number in North Carolina. Helene is now the deadliest US hurricane since Katrina. Your friends haven't been paying attention.

Apparently a helicopter service out of Atlanta rescued 5 people then charged them $1,000 per person for the privilege
I mean fuel isn’t free. Maybe they couldn’t afford to rescue people for free
If I was trapped in that mess I’d pay 1,000 bucks to get out

They put out that shite when there is no time left to lower lake levels or get out
Lower lake levels? They’d need 2 weeks advance notice to do that. The storm didn’t even exist then

That number is going to be staggeringly higher soon.

Not only that, if they released water a week or so ahead and since it takes time for that water to get downstream - and if the storm hit downstream instead - you now made it worse for down-streamers.
And if you release a bunch and have a drought after (and storm misses you) you now have less water to deal with it.
It's virtually impossible to release enough water ahead in the small window they have

I personally know people who didn't make it across 3 counties in North Carolina and 1 in South Carolina. That list is only getting longer.

Your friends should consider themselves incredibly fricking lucky if their response to this is "Nah, not that bad".
