We started in the NW corner of the state in Ashe county this morning. The two major towns were up and running fine. Were told by local SHP that they were doing ok. We continued south into watauga county and into Boone. There was evidence of the flooding, but Boone was up and running just fine. Our objective was to locate smaller communities that may have been overlooked for relief supplies. As we traveled, we would stop and talk to locals and ask how the area was doing and where we could find folks in need of assistance. We finally made our way down into Avery County to the Newland community. They sustained more damage with evidence of severe flooding. We saw a few houses washed off their foundations, and cars down in the river amongst boulders. We stopped and distributed supplies to 4 locations, one of which was a little country church which is in the photo. These folks up here are wonderful and resilient. They never wanted to take all of our supplies and gave other locations for us to check and drop supplies. The NG is out in the community and working. There is no sign of fema and the people up here have no use for them. We ended our day about 20 miles from spruce pine. We're heading back out tomorrow to pick up more supplies from a church staging center and continue delivering them to remote locations. There are lots of supplies here, and the generosity is amazing. The main issue now is roads washed out and power being down. There are line crews out working everywhere.
