There’s currently no way on or out for a lot of people right now

Edit: Live updates here this is being broadcast on FM to the whole region. The only way a lot of people can get info

    I’m amazed that WCU and App maintained power and water. It’s a godsend for the surrounding areas. Without that they’d be totally isolated with no way to stay warm, dry, and fed

      I have friends in Boone and a lot of the town itself did lose power and water but it’s mostly restored today by the sound of things. But the water isn’t safe to drink. Truly a miracle that they have as much as they do because road closures due to the washouts and landslides have most everybody stuck hunkering down. I saw some videos of lees mcrae students being evacuated via helicopters so hopefully the worst affected communities can get that same treatment…
