Tropical Major Hurricane Helene

My in-laws live on a mountain near Spruce Pine/Banner Elk in NC. We are unable to reach them - phone calls going straight to voicemail. Does anyone know of somewhere I can see a map of police reports or anything like that?

I would call the local police department directly and ask.

All said and done good experience. Lost a car and have to fly home, but good experience overall

If you know a Ham radio operator, they may be able to help.

That sounds terribly unpleasant. Car flooded?

Trees. Damaged it and then engine seized up. A storm chaser from Memphis got me out of there. Good guy

I’m just glad you’re ok. You can always replace a car.

Not worried about it in the least. Part of the hobby

My mom’s condo in Englewood Florida took on 1-2 feet of water inside. She just got done replacing floors, sheet rock and furniture from Ian
