Our son got home from App State today. Fortunately, we were able to communicate with him and knew he was ok. Worse thing was landslide blocked them into their apartment complex for part of Friday. They were able to get out Saturday and get some supplies but came home since no power and no class for days. He and his friends certainly were luckier than a lot of others.
I had a bad feeling about this storm with all the rain in advance of the actual hurricane, but I'm still shocked at how bad it was and deeply saddened for WNC, E TN and all the rest.
