00:00Let's go to the mountains of Western North Carolina now where Helene recovery efforts continue Brie

00:05Yeah, Helene recovery efforts emit a very airy scene. This was taken in Bakersville, North Carolina now seeing

00:13some of that rain here moving closer to where we're

00:18Anticipating some of that storms, but we do have some flash flood warnings here

00:23It out in this area and that's gonna include right around Augusta just further east and we do have a more flash flood

00:46We were telling you this throughout the afternoon

00:48But this rain really starting to get going and if we even just look back at the past

00:55Few hours where we've seen some of that rainfall just over the past 24 hours

01:01If we look at an area like this right in this pocket about five and a half inches and you know

01:08It nest wasn't very wet here over the last few hours

01:12So this is from a lot of this storm and it's moving and it's falling at

01:18Quite a rate here across parts of this area just south of Columbia seeing at least about four inches per

01:25Hour 24 hour rainfall accumulation. So we've seen some good rain here from this system, though. That's why we have
