There's a HUGE network outage in WNC. I can't get through to anyone. Talked to my neighbor who tried to get to his business in Mills River this morning and he said it was impossible.Originally Posted by SharkDave

I made it to Boone.
Wife and 2 of our 3 kids made it through the storm. No communication with them from 11am yesterday until 11am today. All cell and land lines are down in our area.
Kitchen, living room, and part of main room flooded. Not good, but better than some. Our bridge washed out, luckily since I came in yesterday we have a vehicle. Everyone else on my road is stranded. Hopefully electricity is back by Monday (optimistic).
Made a water run into town for our road. Town of Boone isn’t bad at all, electricity for most of the town, ppl shopping and eating like nothing happened. It looks like a war zone on the western side (where we’re at).
I’ll be in traffic for 2 hours trying to get home … traffic is backed up, most of the cars are ppl going to look around …

Our 3rd kid was with my in-laws in CLT, it reads like we lost one, we’re all good.

Glad to hear it. We got 17” on the mountain. Way better than some of that 40” bullshit they were trying to feed us…

Patiently waiting to hear from our friends that were at their home in saluda… house sits very close in a valley on the north pacolet on Pearson falls road… just off Hwy 176 up there.
They were supposed to have left before the weather turned south
Sam and Donna Clark…. If anyone up that way happens to hear their name

Glad you got some confirmation.

Yep. Finally heard from my folks. Got 17” and trees everywhere. Bridge somehow survived so they will be fine when they learn how to run some saws. Lots of old folks up those creeks and hollers ain’t been heard from and many won’t be ever again…

Got word our people are good. They passed a note to a search and rescue fireman and he texted it out

We’re still kickin, picked up some more generators for the neighbors and heading back to our community now. A lot of destruction, no deaths in our area that I’ve heard of yet.
A friend has a really good friend who flys blackhawks for the reserves. He sent me a screenshot from their messages. 100+ rescues and a lot of death. He stated it’s one of the worst scenes he’s worked on, and he’s been on a lot of deployments.

Doc, we have hardly no service up here. I can say I have been to the lake where #9 runs lots of trees down. If you want to pm me your # and his location I will see if I can find something out. I have been told the dam is still holding and level going down.
