The @NCNationalGuard has been spotted in Marion NC. I am praying they can make it up Marion Mountain to get to these small towns. The reports I am getting are devastating. Walmart is closed. Has been looted. My niece has worked there for years. It has been emptied out. Ingles is under water can’t be looted. There is an area at the parkway on 226 with spotty service. My niece was able to speak to her sister. Samantha heard everyone crying in the background. Lizzie was crying. Spruce Pine is in very rough shape. My mom’s house is not livable but she said they are staying there right now. I will post pictures as soon as I can get them. No electricity or water. They do have a well and a spring on Halltown Rd. Gas for vehicles are an issue. This is going to be a long rescue and recovery process. Many roads are impassable and landslides are a major issue. Mountain people are tough and resilient. They are survivors, preppers.
My mom and her house before this storm. I need to hear her voice.
I sit here in upstate SC without power and now instead of getting upset that we are without, I pray for the safety, security and restoration of your mom and those in the mountains of NC, TN and SC. I send my love and prayers. May GOD bless you all.
Lake lure and Chimney Rock area is gone. Its like fallout 76 here, no shit. There's a lot of refugees coming into Spartanburg and Greenville from Asheville area.
Thank God the Lake Lure dam held. We’re downstream of it. Broad River has done a ton of damage
The dam may have held only because they opened the floodgates in time.
