Lots going on. Castle Rock, NC is pretty much gone. Asheville is a mess and AD is right, I40 is closed a few miles into TN. I26 has similar closures and TN431 through the Great Smokey MTN National Park.

From the sounds of it, SC got it worse than TN did. The Nolichucky Dam held in East TN which spared us a lot of trouble.

 

[flashback]

We got a little too much water in the lake. But otherwise lucky!

I feel so bad for those folks that were in the path of that monster. Unbelievable the amount of destruction.

NC Orgs

http://www.madpantry.org/ should be on that list. Based in Mt Olive, NC, works extensively w Team Rubican. Impressive operation started by a kid, now known on a national level.

http://www.madpantry.org/ should be on that list.

Civil Air Patrol should be too. I know both NC Wing and TN Wing are spooling up flights today. Plus recovery assistance on the ground through VOAD.

A lot of after the fact information there, maybe the forecast will be better next time.
