Hurricane Helene’s heavy rain flooded roads and forced businesses to close in western
North Carolina.
Cary Fire Department’s Swiftwater Rescue Team is one of several local emergency teams deployed to Western NC to help out. Captain Craig McDowell, who is part of the Cary Fire Department’s eight member Swiftwater Team in Caldwell County, said their biggest concern is flash flooding.
In central North Carolina, wind will be the biggest concern Friday. Duke Energy’s Jeff Brooks said with all the rain seen recently, the ground is already saturated. Brooks said crews will be ready to respond to any overnight outages. With the more severe storms to the west, crews are staging in Charlotte and Upstate South Carolina.

South Carolina reports second storm-related death after tree falls on house

Another person in Anderson, South Carolina, died Friday morning in a second fatality attributed to severe weather conditions from Tropical Storm Helene in the state.
The victim died after a tree fell on a home, according to the Anderson County Coroner’s office.
Spokesperson Alyssa Whitfield said the coroner’s office was en route to the second death involving a tree falling onto a residence. Details about the victim were not immediately available.
This is the second reported storm fatality in the state of South Carolina. At least 23 Helene-related deaths have been reported across four states.

Floodwaters continue rising and carrying heavy debris in Asheville

Within hours, floodwaters have gone up several feet in Asheville, North Carolina, inundating cars and pushing large debris through the city, as seen by CNN’s Isabel Rosales.
“With this particular type of flooding, what makes it so tricky is that even when the rain has gone away, as we’re seeing right now, it has really eased up, this flooding is just going to get worse and worse, because all of this water has to go somewhere,” Rosales said.
About 10 miles from the city center, the Swannanoa River has surged to major flood stage. The river, which is normally about 2 to 4 feet deep, surpassed 20 feet on Friday and reached a new record today.
“We could see that the storm drainage system was taken ahead, clearly, overwhelmed by all of this water,” Rosales said, adding the situation will continue to get worse.
