Has anyone heard if @asheland is o.k.?

I'm concerned about Terry. I do know many of the folks in his neck of the woods have no power, internet or, in many cases, homes.
I haven't head back from him.

    I asked Terry's friend in Asheville to let me know but cell service is spotty at best there.

    There are plenty of folks who you won’t hear anything until communication improves not to mention those who are missing. Pray tell when they get to everyone who needs help.

    I sent some prayers to Georgia via relatives. She has family there and it's appreciated 💌

    I can't answer for North Carolina, but in Florida, people are going nuts over food. You should have seen Wal-Mart today: First Tuesday of the month + what I call post-hurricane-mental-disability, or PHMD. They are literally pulling stuff off the shelves as fast as they can put more out.
    Another example: The state provides free tarps to those who need them, but people who don't need them are getting them, then turning around and selling them to those who actually have roof damage.
    There will be enough food and water here, as long as people calm down in a few days.
    People are also going crazy about the ports strike.

    I am in NE Georgia (Gainesville) and we are fine. However, I can't get propane or bottled water because all local supplies are being diverted to the affected areas. Also, our utility crews and equipment are being sent there as well. It's a mess.

    @2ndCharter wow! That’s a big tree to just snap in half like that.

    @CRHer700 there is definitely some hoarding happening over the port strike, which is no doubt exacerbating the supply chain issues from Helene.

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    One of my cousins lives in Asheville. Spent 12 hours plus on the roof of her place with her cat waiting to be rescued - 3 story building on stilts in the art district or something along those lines. Fema tents since Saturday and hopefully in a apartment or hotel they were trying to use as FEMA housing. Haven't heard anything in a couple days.

    It's way worse than most people realize.

    I think others have mentioned this -- I have been in contact with Terry and he is well.

    You should see the size of the trees around Florida that were snapped into two pieces. Huge live oaks snapped like pencils.
