Thanks, just venting. A house fire in a hurricane, who knew to be guarding against that!

Speaking of, yesterday during evacuation warnings they were telling people with electric vehicles to take them to safety from salt water flooding. They don't play well with salt water. They said you could leave your EV parked in the garage and come back to find your house burned down.

Well, mom's neighbor had their house burn down last night - reason unknown, owner not there. Heat melted siding on her house and basically melted the side of her car parked in the driveway. She was with others elsewhere and just went home today. What a mess.

I 26 toward SC is fine, I-26 toward TN is fine for a bit then closed; I 40 east is fine, I 40 west ok for a while. (Closures will probably take months to repair.) About half of Asheville has power, no water. Rest has neither. West Buncombe county generally doesn't have power; same as other counties toward the west. Many AVL city streets have traffic lights; those that don't go with "pretend it's a four-way stop sign", which in many places actually works better. 😁 The roads are full of relief and emergency vehicles, plus people in cars going for water, etc. The most reliable and current road info comes from Google Maps with the traffic option clicked. Lots of helicopters and aircraft over our house (obv. not a road report.)

I think Hendersonville has water. Don't know about Brevard, etc. Honestly, please tell others, don't come to Asheville now, even if you can find a hotel. All we do is go get water, go get food, go get gas, go find cellular/ wifi (still most places), etc.

If you find anyplace sort of scenic and entertaining toward the east of us, please let me know. We will need out once-weekly-flushing-trips for the indefinite future.

It's definitely conflicting on what people want to do - stay out and support from afar or reschedule plans. Our place where we were supposed to stay in Clyde last week is reopening today and I'd like to support them, but not yet. That's what makes it difficult, these counties and businesses say come, we need you, but Asheville and Western State of NC say, stay away for now.

It's looking like VA side of the Blue Ridge Parkway is reopening next week. I know that's a little further east for you 😁, but it might be our option for something this year.

Does anyone else feel like the coverage that Milton is getting is way more than what Helen got, specially in the East Tennessee, North Carolina areas?

Milton was a natural storm and not created by the government for political purposes.

Or, was Milton also created by the government to look more natural as to take our attention off of Helene?
