We got our ass kicked by a storm with no name

mindblowing to see the water height on the right, then seeing it up above the windows on that orange line atop the front of that building.

It’s like intentionally starting a huge forest fire then wanting credit for serving lemonade to the first responders

Lots of stuff is talking about the River District in asheville, check this vid from across town, showing what is likely peak height on the Swannanoa. Ignore the text about 5 stories, but still.

I went for a run the last two days and went down by the RAD. It’s completely wrecked. Metal siding/roofing wrapped around light poles, shipping containers displaced and flipped over, debris everywhere. They’ve got all of riverside drive blocked off doing some line work down there.

Salvage Station was pretty much wiped off the map. The new Hi Wire brewing facility and beer garden was wiped out. Probably syringes washed up all over the place since a lot of homeless people camp along the river down by the greenway.
