- Rushing floodwaters were seen in downtown Boone Friday morning as Tropical Storm Helene brought torrential rain to the North Carolina mountains.
Several inches of water were seen rushing down King Street near the Mast General Store and Depot Street in the heart of downtown Boone. The water was seen running into several storefronts on King Street. A Resort Cams camera showed several vehicles passing through and around the floodwaters which are several inches deep.
WCNC Charlotte Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich said he'd never seen this much water flooding downtown Boone.
"Look at the flow," Panovich said. "There are rapids, this is flowing."
Weather Impact forecaster Larry Sprinkle said it was the most water he'd seen in Boone during his career.
Helene's impacts have been felt across the Carolinas with millions of power outages and widespread flooding. Multiple flash flood emergencies were reported in the mountains, and a mandatory evacuation was ordered for residents near Mountain Island Lake in Mecklenburg County due to rising waters. #Helene #Weather #Flooding

Prayers for all who are affected by hurricane Helene 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for leaving the comments on! Can’t believe some news channels leave the comments off...
My nephew is there & is stuck without power or food. Prayers for all affected
The news was reporting that this hurricane was coming for nearly a week beforehand!! Why didn't your nephew & others stock up on food, water, & flashlights, etc??
@@kaythegardeneryou're the reason they turn the comments off.
Phukouttahere
@kaythegardner BECAUSE THEY ARE 800 MILES INLAND!! THEY WERE TOLD TOO LATE TO EVACUATE. IT'S LIKE TELLING FLORIDA TO PREPARE FOR A BLIZZARD!
This is Appalachia where often no electricity due to bad weather but when your whole house OR YOUR WHOLE TOWN is swept away by floods, it doesn't matter what you prepped for, IT'S GONE!
@@brockn7878 You attacked me personally instead of answering a valid question!!
@@kaythegardener you "attacked" a bunch of strangers. Essentially, implying they are morons. Implying they're not worthy of compassion or concern.
Fyi. There was Very little reason to guess that the fkn mountains of NC would get slammed like that that. It was Unprecedented. (Unlike Florida beach towns etc.) It was Not unreasonable to imagine the mountains would be safe.
Also many people have NO Where TO GO, or the cars and/or money to rent one. Yes they should have e emergency supplies but...
So many valid reasons. Yet your over here high horsing these people in their most desperate moments.
That is offensive. So many progressives saying alll sorts of evil ish like they deserved cuz theyre Red area, or assumed ray sists.
Your statement just fell into this pattern of blame and shame thats been angering me this entire week.
My Mother was born in Boone and Grandpa lived right down under Howard’s Knob. Mama use to talk about the railroad being washed out many years ago. Tweetsie is just a small spot now and I guess all that is left of what use to be.
You can see the how much the water rose in just minutes, look at the front bumper of the silver truck at the beginning and then at the end. It rose about 4 inches. May God protect these unfortunate people.
DO NOT go to the Boone mall. It is subject to awful flooding!
you mean now ?
"RIVER STREET" is named such for a reason.
Boone has always been bad for flooding, I remember existing my dorm about 13 years ago during a bad storm and people were swimming down the road. The mall parking lot also flooded really bad cars were floating. I feel that this was nothing compared to what has happened in the past. I was also there for an earthquake. Boone has seen a lot worse. But praying that everyone is safe.
Why are people out driving? Seriously? Why?
Firemen, Police, doctors, power line workers, all need to GO to work. Folks still get sick and need to go to the hospital. People need to check on elderly who can't live without power.
@RoccoGucci lol dude, people are out driving at 3 am in nowhere, Nebraska. I know cause I am a truck driver. I know essential workers need to be at work. They already were. There are massive amounts of people out doing unnecessary crap. I've seen it all across the country. They used to pull people over for driving late at night. It's gotten ridiculous.
Gotta get some mcdonalds breakfast in my pickup truck.
@@user-account-not-found lol
@jennaadea Overnight workers exist, on my days off sometimes I can't sleep and I need to go somewhere. But my Lil mustang ain't going anywhere near these floodwaters lol
Insane, went to college at app state back in 2010, now living in the Tetons of Wyoming/Idaho. This is insane, so tragic and sad. I'm tempted to fly to NC and join in on any help I can.
Boone sits in a bowl like valley that collects excess water like mad. This has happened before. I still have a video from about 5-7 yrs ago or so when a front stalled over Boone, and dumped multiple inches of water in the area. At this point it was worse than this is so far. Glad I didn't move there. The city has terrible traffic for it's size as well.
Greedy merchants there who prey on the idiots flocking to the mountains
Reminds me of pineville, ky along the cumberland river in those mountains, pineville, ky does have floodgates & a floodwall around it though
We are glad that you didn't move here as well. There are far too many people here.
@@borragoI lived in Boone from 1970 to 1976. It's not an area that can tolerate heavy rain nor all the idiots that have apparently moved there to live. I don't think I'd enjoy living in Boone now as versus when I lived there fifty years ago.
@@Wilber-r7rone more idiot moved away from Boone in 1976.
Water must be coming off the mountain , never seen it like this. The mall area always floods. Lots of friends in the area . Pray that everyone stays safe . .
We need updates for areas around Gorges State Park. Places like Cashiers, Highlands, Lake Toxaway- anywhere headed west on 64. There’s got to be catastrophic damage. Hope all are well. Also, I believe the dam in Lake Lure might fail
It did
About :59 he says, "You can see some of these cars probably in shock at what’s happening right now.” Cars in shock? How does that happen? What I'm sure of is that there are a lot of PEOPLE in shock right now. My heart and thoughts are with them.
Reminds me of ‘hey did you hear what china did? What Russia did? What Israel or Palestine did? Etc. etc. ‘
...imagine all this water suspended in the air before it came down on us....
Rivers street is flooding as well
Praying for you all 🙏🙏🙏
Plenty of help for illegals but zero help or care for tax paying Americans. Our government has failed us. Time for major changes.
Easy you russian troll. It's far better than your country. How's the war treating you?
"Zero help?" Don't propagate lies! Fema has brought millions in supplies and rescue efforts already. They are just not pandering to the media and the massive amount of supplies and equipment are landing at airports that are a distance from the catastrophe. Most military aircraft can not find landing areas until they get places cleared. Don't be foolish.
Any information on banner elk? My girlfriend is there and I can’t reach her
Edit: she’s fine but her condo is flooded and so are the roads leaving
Oh no sir, I will check on her....
@@will7its 😂
@@will7its
I think cell service is out in that area. I have a home there but I'm in FL.
Your girlfriend and your mother are at my house.
you can hear the awe in his voice...thats when you nned to be scared when your meterologist sounds afraid
More construction more cars on roads with an Aged infrastructure. More of this deluge madness will continue
It's amazing to me how few people carry emergency supplies in their vehicle or keep a "Bug Out Bag" to grab and go in a hurry. I guess I need to move my important papers to an easier place to grab and go.
The shock is people driving in that thinking their car mysteriously turned into a boat since a hurricane hit 😳
Is Boon near Brice town? Does anybody know if they are getting through?
yes, i do live in morganton and EVERYTHING is closed
You can see on the NOAA map he showed that the whole area is under a Flash Flood Warning. Local emergency services should have been monitoring that and warning residents on their weather apps, radio, phone,
Can anyone tell me what’s going on in Marion NC. I live there and have family there. I can’t get ahold of anyone
Vacationed there in 2001. App State. Thought it would be a great place to move to.
I am in Washington state. Please remember lots of the world is viewing. Could you tell us what state this is? 😢
The cars are not in shock, the people are
Real jerks, driving through that water and throwing wakes up into peoples businesses.
Pretty sure that makes no difference at this point
Anyone know about Maggie Valley?
I'm sure the businesses owes appreciate those 4x4s racing down the flooded streets creating wakes and pushing water into their stores. 😡
Our house in Boone NC was totally destroyed by a landslide during Hurricane Helene. Insurance Denied. We need Cleanup Assistance.
As a retired banking and insurance provider, it's sadly true that *no* home insurance policy covers earth movement damage (landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.)
What if this were snow?
1" of rain = ~12" of snow -- so 30" rain = ~30 *_FEET_* of snow!!
oh boy that is breaking
Don't walk in it. You can fall through a sewer manhole
Weather manipulation by our own government ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
I feel bad for those businesses but in all honesty, it could have been a whole lot worse. Ellicott City, MD is very much like Boone. Ellicott City was ravaged by not one, but two devastating flash floods, one in 2016 and another one in 2018. The water on the main street was up to the second floor of the buildings. th-cam.com/video/LFeVvD5H6nQ/w-d-xo.html
HURRICANE HELENE POEM -2024!!
Helene hit like an atom bomb
Consuming the helpless in its path.
The waters of the deep surged forth
Flooding everything with their wrath.
The storms of life come to everyone
There are none who are immune.
Some approach in our later years
While others come too soon.
Conviction is our emotional union
As we weather the storms of Earth.
Thank God for His amazing grace
Which helps us reveal our worth.
Tears are a love-mates humble gift
When it's time to say goodbye
Though the eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.

Helene struck like a thunderous quake,
Engulfing all in her fierce embrace.
The ocean’s fury began to awake,
Drowning hopes in a turbulent race.
Life’s storms touch each soul without refrain,
No heart escapes from their harsh decree.
Some trials arise in our twilight pain,
While others confront us too soon to see.
Together we stand through the raging night,
Finding strength in the bonds we create.
Grateful for grace that shines through the plight,
Guiding us gently as we navigate fate.
Tears flow freely when goodbyes draw near,
A bittersweet gift in the shadow of loss.
Though swollen with sorrow, we’ll persevere,
In time, love will help us to bear the cost.
Helene struck like a devastating force,
Devouring all in its relentless course.
The ocean's depths unleashed their might,
Overwhelming everything in sight.
Storms of life visit everyone,
No one escapes when they’ve begun.
Some come in the twilight of our years,
While others arrive, igniting early fears.
Together we find strength through pain,
Facing tempests that life can feign.
We’re thankful for grace that lights our way,
Helping us uncover our worth each day.
Tears, a gentle farewell’s release,
A humble gift when parting brings grief.
Though eyes may weep and hearts feel sore,
With time and love, we heal once more.
Helene was mean as a dirty old bit$h
but rather than caked and dry
she uncaged her rage like spit and tears
made of water than fell from the sky

FEMA is out of money. Where is Mayorkas ????
Without speekers voice ist enough. You talk to much
Democrat is fast becoming an unspeakable word let alone a vote.

Idiotic!

Your boy Robinson is watching trans porn while all this is going on. FDJ6T 😂😂😂
Biden asked congress to fund Fema for 4 billion, was flat refused by Republicans, look in the mirror.
These things have happened forever in the mountains. I am 76 and my grandma told me about this happening when she was a child. Don't be part of anyone's base. It keeps you from knowing the truth.
Just imagine how bad this would be if climate change was real!
It's geoengineering
@@BabsKaz 🤭🤪
Yeah,We never had Hurricanes 100 years ago
Seems we can't go a single natural disaster these days without the tin foilers popping out of the woodwork. God, y'all r so annoying.
