Glad to hear that most who went through this are OK. The news shows that Helene made quite a mess down there. Looks like a lot of roads were destroyed.
 
Thank goodness for chainsaws. Not long ago I bought a 40v polesaw and have been trimming all of my trees.
 
I saw this pic on Newsweek's site taken at Lake Lure.

When my dad was in Europe during WWII he went to a Red Cross station and they would only SELL him coffee. Hearing anything to do with Red Cross got his blood boiling.

NPO's are a joke, they dump profit into executive compensation and fluff packages for them.
 
Seems like NC has more damage and deaths than FL and other states.
Oh, there are thousands more deaths in NC/TN than in FL and GA. I wouldn't be surprised to hear 10,000 deaths as a low number estimate. Entire towns were washed away in mere minutes. These bodies will never be recovered :cry:

Years ago when I was stationed in Korea (67-68)with the 38 Arty Bde (AD) on Osan AFB; NOBODY would donate to the red cross on pay day. One guy had to fly home due to a seriously ill wife, red cross supplied the airline ticket (not military flight) and THEN CHARGED HIM FOR IT !!!! Salvation Army is a different story.
 
Put this here just for a lack of not knowing a better place.

Contender! Hello! Hope you and Miss Penny are doing as good as possible.

I've been curious about the roads and infrastructure? Has the state come up with a solution?

I cant seem to find anything about what the plans might be and have been wondering. Especially the road up the hill over to Asheville. Will they even rebuild that section of road, or perhaps build another one on a different route?
