Tropical Major Hurricane Helene

Hey guys. I’m on my wife’s hotspot. Been off grid a while. We’ve got cell towers down and power out accross the grid. It looks like a war zone here. Power lines down in the roads everywhere. 100 year oak trees snapped at the base. Pine trees splintered and snapped. Debris everywhere. National guard out doing clean up. It’s a mess. This is the new benchmark around here. Thankfully I was able to find a path to get back home earlier. I’ll keep y’all updated. My house is still standing.

Hopefully this isn't banter... Anyone heard of anything out of Valle Crucis and places like that? I'm thinking that the entire area may not exist anymore.

Probably doesn’t, it’s all in the Watauga river valley. Hope those people left, however not many permanent residents there anyways mostly vacation homes so may but be too bad
