Flash Flood Warning issued September 27 at 8:01AM EDT until September 27 at 4:30PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC ...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 430 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON FOR OCONEE AND PICKENS COUNTIES... At 801 AM EDT, emergency management reported hundreds of trees down preventing rescue operations. Shelter in place and do not travel unless fleeing floodwaters. Significant flooding is ongoing in multiple locations, resulting in road closures, first-floor inundation, and damage to some structures. The risk of life-threatening landslide activity continues to increase in the South Carolina mountains. Between 5 and 8 inches of rain have fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 1.5 to 2.5 inches in 1 hour. In addition, dam releases from Keowee Hydro Station will result in imminent, sudden increases in river stage height. Brown Bottom Road in particular may be affected, but other nearby locations will see impacts as well. This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Pickens and Oconee Counties. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW! HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing flash flooding. SOURCE...Emergency management reported. IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses. Extensive flooding of homes and businesses. Widespread road closures. Widespread life-threatening landslide activity. Some locations that will experience flash flooding include... Easley, Clemson, Seneca, Walhalla, Pickens, West Greenville, Welcome, Central, Pendleton, Liberty, Westminster, Gumlog, Norris, Six Mile, Tallulah Falls, Salem, Lake Keowee, Keowee Toxaway State Park, Devils Fork State Park and Lake Jocassee. Move to higher ground now! This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order. Heavy rain is significantly increasing the risk of landslides, especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Slides can destroy single homes and other structures and large sections of roads. If you are in the warned area, you should not travel, except to move away from flash flood or landslide dangers. If you are in the vicinity of a stream near the heavy rainfall, especially on a mountainside, or at the base of a mountain or in a cove, move immediately to a safer location. Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route.

Significant flooding has been observed across a broad area of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia, particularly in the vicinity of the mountains and foothills. Widespread tree and power line damage has occurred across the region, and many roads have been made impassable by floodwaters. We continue to advise against travel unless fleeing rising floodwaters. Wind gusts have peaked for the event over most of the area, but tropical storm force gusts will remain possible through early afternoon in the Piedmont and southern mountains of North Carolina, and through mid to late afternoon over the northern North Carolina mountains and on all ridgetops. Landslides still could occur across the mountains, at least until the last of the rain tapers off this afternoon or evening. Tornado threat is diminishing and now confined to the North Carolina Piedmont, and will taper off completely by early afternoon. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * WIND: Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across the western Carolinas and NE Georgia. Remain well sheltered from hazardous wind having additional limited impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about. - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over. - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways. - Scattered power and communications outages. * FLOODING RAIN: Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across the western Carolinas and NE Georgia. Remain well guarded against life-threatening flood waters having additional devastating impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations and rescues. - Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their banks in many places with deep moving water. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become raging rivers. In mountain areas, deadly runoff may rage down valleys while increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed. - Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of raging water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become very dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out. * TORNADOES: Potential impacts from tornadoes are still unfolding across the North Carolina Piedmont. Remain well braced against a dangerous tornado event having possible significant impacts. If realized, these impacts include: - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events. - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures. - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll. Elsewhere across the western Carolinas and NE Georgia, little to no impact is anticipated. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: An evacuation is ongoing downstream of Lake Lure as a dam failure is imminent there. Otherwise, follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: If you are prone to flooding or in an area under a storm surge watch or warning, be prepared for the possibility of a quick and dramatic rise in water levels. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, quickly move to the safest place within your shelter.
