We got our ass kicked by a storm with no name

This one has a name... Helene... and, it looks like a fvcking mess. The worst storm threat around here in a long time. Western NC is already in flood warnings and the worst part will be here in the morning.

Biltmore village already has pretty bad flooding and they’re saying the French Broad may hit record levels. Asheville is gonna be a shitshow
I dunno where I'd rather be in this. I dunno how bad it will be at the coast. But, this is the most concern I've had about a Hurricane since Hugo when I lived in Surfside Beach, SC! Spent that night in Conway High School shelter.

My cousin lives in Jasper, GA. Girlfriend lives in Athens now. I just hope the sustained winds don't do too much damage, but I'm expecting at least a loss of power. It will probably be a restless night/morning.

Up your way, looks like the most overall rainfall. 7-9" or more? Sheezus! I was going to hike Table Rock in a few weeks. The water will be falling all over the place from the run-off of the Blue Ridge Escarpment.

OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Hitler never agreed to not attack England, he agreed to not invade Poland. When he did, England and France declared war on Germany. America didn't enter the war until Pearl Harbor was attacked and Germany declared war on the United States.
and @pooponduke didn't say he did. He said Britain was subsequently attacked by Germany because Hitler broke the agreement that pooponduke referred to, and he is perfectly correct in saying that.. If Hitler had not attacked Poland thereby breaking the peace agreement, Britain would have had no reason to declare war. If Britain doesn't go to war, Hitler doesn't attack it. And we don't aid Britain's war effort because there would not have been one to aid. And if we don't aid a British war effort, Hitler would not necessarily have declared war on us. We would just be left duking it out with the Japs, unless Germany declared war on us because of Germany's alliance with Japan, and that is just conjecture and immaterial to what pooponduke is making a valid point of..

Britain MIGHT have ended up going to war if Hitler had left Poland alone and instead invaded France, but Britain did not have a pact with France as they did with Poland...so that's again just conjecture and immaterial to poopondukes perfectly valid point.

Conclusion; there was no reason for you to butt in and erroneously try to correct what needed no correcting. But it did garner you a favorable comment from your equally ignorant and misguided buttbuddy, so you do have that to be proud of.
