Western North Carolina Flooding

We live across from the Horsepasture River in Transylvania County...about 30 minutes west of Brevard. Even though we can't see the river from our front porch, we always hear it. It's typically a nice flowing mountain river that meaders through our community. Just down the street is a park where we can follow the river down to a waterfall.

All that has changed after days and days of torrential rain here in western North Carolina. In the park, the river, which normally runs about 2 feet below the edge, is now spilling over at least 20 ft from where it usually is. And the water fall....well, see for yourself.
