Every disaster has the area that seems to be forgotten, similar to how the Land Mass was in Katrina. That flooding is bad there, Biltmore underwater, and nobody seems to be talking about it.

Cousins in Candler, just outside Asheville. They’re safe. No water or electricity expected for at least a week, but they’re safe and their son is bringing them supplies.

It wiped out the Augusta area for power. They have estimated by Saturday midnight. We evacuated to Columbia. Wife is going to run supplies to augusta tomorrow morning.

Would imagine cochise is in a similar predicament since he's in same area as we are.

Eastbound I-40 collapsed at the Pigeon River. It's expected to closed until September 2025.

Western Carolina is such a beautiful part of the country.

While obviously not important in the grand scheme.. I know somebody on the SC side of Augusta. He says if a tree is still standing on Augusta National he’ll be surprised.

Been following some guys flying copters in and out of Asheville. They’re flying in supplies and getting people out who need medical attention. All the towns and communities up and down the rivers are all isolated with no communication. There’s no telling how many people might be dead. Just total devastation.

Yes. Two classmates from Copiah Academy class of '88 and their families. One I've heard from and he is ok. The other hasn't been heard from. Both live in Ashville area.

My brother lives there (Sylva) and narrowly avoided disaster. Water was 10" deep in the crawlspace under his house but did not reach the floor. He has power and water. Communication is a major problem though.

People two doors down weren't so lucky and had 3 feet of water in their living space.

It's a disaster for sure. I pity the Asheville folks.
