Boone is a disaster area right now.
From top Charlotte meteorologist:
I am not going to sugar-count this, but this is catastrophic in the mountains right now. These are all the flash flood emergencies in effect now. Landslides, floods, dam failures, washed-away homes, and bridges are everywhere. We don't even know how bad it is in spots since all communication and most power are out. Please pray for these people and help in any way you can.
I have granddaughter and grandson there. It was to be parents weekend. Everything is flooded including King street. Many dorms without power and no drinking water and limited cell service. Parking lots with kids cars are flooded over them. Granddaughter's friends apartments were evacuated and one had tree come down on it and now their apartment is unlivable. No one is allowed out and have to boil water. How does a student boil all their water? Lake Lure's damn is ready to break. Really sad.
