Gone as in it no longer exists. Every building gone. They haven’t even gotten to some of these places yet. Like Chimney Rock. Roads are buried in mud slides or just missing so no way in there. Reports bodies laying all over there.
More footage and reports coming in from western Carolina. Nearly every road is closed. I-40 is going to be closed for a long, long time. I've been in these areas a number of times. Beautiful area. Hearing about places that got leveled. Lake Lure (been there) is half filled with sediment and...
I couldn’t tell you cats. There were parts of western NC that got a yard of rain. With that much coming down the results wont be good regardless of which side you’re on. Appalachia doesn’t usually see the damaging effects of a cane as much as the other half of the state. I’m sure they’ll be...

It really wasn’t bad at all. Heavy downpour with wind for a...
We’re good here cats. Appreciate the concern. It rained hard and got pretty windy for a couple hours but then relaxed. We got nothing here in R-D compared to western NC and eastern TN. The little village next to Chimney Rock is gone. Been there. Nice quaint little town the tourists filled while...
I’m not trying to be a wiseguy but Forrest Gump ran to the Pacific. When he got there, he ran back to the Atlantic. Then he turned around and did it again. I guess the point is the cure is time or as the saying goes, “time heals”. Or miles heals. Or experiences heals. Or tears heals. Or anger...
My hate-hate relationship with my old chainsaw continues. Had a tree to take down 15' away from my fire pit. It was dead. Didn't want it to come down on someone's head. Couldn't keep my saw running. Borrowed the neighbors and finished the job. Tore apart my saw yesterday. Highly suspected...
