Downtown Asheville looks like a war zone. No water no power. Have the travel to get cell service. Gas shortage. Catastrophic .

I can report that some areas out in the country near Augusta did just get power back today. We probably even saw those efforts near a community center late morning.
Still don't have power myself though.

Unconfirmed reports on TikTok that they’ve found 100 bodies in Swannanoa. Some found in trees. Again, unconfirmed but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Have heard Augusta is really bad still. People in my office that drove through there over the weekend said it was a war zone. Hope you’re okay!

We are donating to Samaritan's Purse. Hearing they are on the ground in western NC and very little of a donation goes to administrative costs. Most of a donation goes to help folks.

Death toll for Buncombe County is at 40 now. That's just one county. Still lots of people missing in the mountains of NC.

Samaritans Purse is awesome. I worked with them in 2009 when Georgia had the historic flooding

Unfortunately true. I was in St. Martin in 2023 and there was still tons of storm damage from Hurricane Irma in 2017. Many buildings not repaired. Piles of debris just pushed off the road were just left there. These small islands that rely on tourism really need more help after big storms than what they’ve been given.

live just south of downtown Greenville SC. widespread damage unlike I've ever seen. estimate we experienced constant winds 60-70 mph for an hour at around 630am Friday. winds began howling at 2am. never lived at coast but witnesssed destruction of a tornado in Alabama in mid-90s. here: power lines snapped in half, trees downed everywhere, trees into homes, trees smashed into cars while driving, roads blocked, neighbor died due to falling tree. Duke est Fri for power restoration. some advice: buy a generator. we have a Honda 2200. it's fantastic and has saved our sanity.
