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?

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.
