the sheraton in greensboros has been a staging point for utility companies for years that come and help. friday on the way home it was nothing but utility trucks..
and on the way home today it was convoy after convoy heading east....

our store in warsaw nc 45 minutes from the coast lost a good portion of it's roof and 2 garage doors. roads flooded no power. could be weeks till they are up and running....

hats off to every lineman leaving their families to help....

and our rain total just shy of 12"

I've been watching the coverage (like everyone else) and it's just heartbreaking. The last bits blew through here Monday and caused 6 tornadoes! Communities that were thinking they got a pass on the storm are picking up pieces of homes today. So sad.

So sorry for all the folks in harms way that are suffering.

Been picking up limbs and mulching leaves in the yard past couple days, figured I'd ride over to the farm and check things out, My son and I were over there Saturday and only had 1 tree down In the garden. Tuesdays trip was a much different route. The road I normally use...well lets just say it will be a while before it gets used again. This happened Saturday night, when the hard rain hit.

@Lickbranchfarm that is some washout. Have to take the long way around now. Garden at least didn't get trees all over it. Glad that y'all came through it safe.

Thought I'd share a couple of photos of what Florence did to Interstate 40 in NC . . . one is not a river, but I40 completely underwater, the other is what was left behind after the water receded.
