Lots and lots of damage to NC, GA, and TN.

God Bless the people!

We are not getting information about the area.

Rivers and roads are flooded! Asheville you cannot get to, all roads flooded. Airport closed. Bryson City under about 6 foot of water, entire small mountain towns wiped from the map.

Internet is down, landlines are emergency only, cell phones up and down and emergency only!

My family is ok. But NC was hit hard! TN hit hard, and N GA hit hard!

And virtually no communication, not even with the emergency radio weather station!

26 East is open, if you can get to it. Most of the communication happening is people talking to each other the old fashioned way. Some of us with older phones are able to communicate, but spotty. While there are some pockets of people with power, I’m guessing it’s going to be a few weeks before power is restored for most. I had heard that the power company sent their overtime crews to Florida ahead of the storm so the extra help isn’t here - I don’t know if it’s true or not though. We’ll see.

I think trucks from Texas are headed up there now.

That’s great to hear. I just heard Charlotte is sending water. I’m all set, I was prepared but definitely concerned and praying for everyone else. So much devastation and I think it’s going to be a lot worse than reported so far,

I am so heartbroken for all those folks. It makes me feel helpless. All I can do is pray that enough rescue teams are available. Think of what it will take to rebuild homes and businesses. Just awful.
