A before and after view of the flooding scour from #Helene on the valley, as seen from Chimney Rock Park.
This is so similar to so many river towns in western NC.

**THIS HAS NOW EXPIRED **
This #tornado-warned cell is still producing, off and on, a couplet that warrants a warning for western Martin and extreme western Bertie Counties.
Residents in Hobgood and north of Oak City and Hamilton should take cover.

Twenty-five years ago today, #Hurricane Floyd made landfall in SE NC.
It was the second of a 1-2 punch (with Hurricane Dennis less than a month prior) that brought historic flooding to many areas in ENC.
It was my generation's "Hazel", and its scars can still be seen today.

Flood Watch in effect until 9pm for portions of ENC. FFWs have been issued.
Be weather-aware today, especially on the roads.

#Aurora Killers Approaching!
Clouds are moving in from the northwest over eastern NC.
Otherwise known as "Aurora Killers".
Get outside as soon as it is completely dark and in a location with minimal noise pollution (city lights, street lights, etc.)
Any aurora lights you may see will ebb and flow in intensity, so keep looking for a while.
Good luck!

#OTD in 2011, North Carolina was impacted by one of the worst #tornado outbreaks in its recorded history.
28 tornadoes touched down within our borders, taking 24 lives (half of those in my home county, Bertie) and injuring 133.
Were you impacted by this event?
