One aspect of this disaster I keep returning to is the sheer volume of water that came through our rivers and streams. In Green Mountain, where I was raised, there is no data; the next closest monitoring station is downstream on the #Nolichucky. Left: #Helene flow rate. Right: Normal flow rate.

Impact Plastics, next to the Nolichucky river. Lots of news stories about workers dying there. You can see the flood area from the satellite view. #RemoteImaging #Nolichucky #flooding #TN #Helene

"This is an overhead shot coming out of the mountains from #Asheville NC to Erwin TN.

We don’t have bridges anymore. #Nolichucky washed them all out. Like, all the bridges 💩

It’s insane"

A bit of a gray day on the #nolichucky river. I like this time of year--leaf off is better for seeing the bones of the mountains. #oldrocks
