    I think they said 20 dead...

      My sister just moved to the Greenville SC area. Lots of down trees and power lines there. When I talked to her yesterday evening power still out there. We have Spectrum internet here in Smithfield and they had a main fiber in Spartanburg cut which had our connectivity down from Friday morning until Saturday afternoon. Some of the pics and videos of the areas around Asheville NC and the TN area there are crazy. Before a mountain highway ,after a rushing river. My son and future daughter-in-law had their wedding planned in that area next week in the mountains between Asheville and Greenville, they received news from the Chapel yesterday that the roof is severely damaged and remainder of events this year have to be canceled and/or postponed to 2025. They are very disappointed obviously but dates can be changed, the people there are dealing with much worse.

            50 dead.

            There are places that will never be rebuilt.

                  For those of you in the know, I’ve lost contact with a person riding cross country (on the back of a Harley) who was attending and camping for NASCAR in Bristol, TN. I think the event was supposed to be on the weekend. Do any of you think she encountered bad flooding? Her route was supposed to take her through MN on the way back.

                        Fair enough about the picture.

                        Biden, who spent much of the weekend at his beach house in Delaware, has received frequent updates on the storm from FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell, homeland security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall and other officials.

                        Hopefully his earpiece was plugged into his phone.

                          Not sure. That area did get a ton of rain as well, so there could be power and communication issues abound.

                          We were scheduled to stay in a beachfront house in Clearwater (Redington Beach), Florida in a month. Haven't heard but I think they got about a 6' storm surge so I'd imagine the house is a no-go. Most restaurants in the area are closed as they clean and rebuild.

                          Gotta love youtube. Even though lots of folks can't get back to the barrier island, someone posted a video driving through the area so you can see buildings/homes for yourself if you need info:

                                I’m in Charlotte this week and there’s absolutely no sign of it here in the downtown area, although the coverage from the local TV stations is really horrendous

                                I was only joking

                                  Asheville seemed to have gotten it the worst. Quite frankly, I think most of it is due to the mountains. They channel water into more narrow and violent runoffs.

                                        Pay no attention to Loomer (although that is interesting, if true. Rigsby is pertinent to the discussion.
