Alot of rumors swirling around, cant believe everything you hear these days. May be true, may not. Time will tell
Not 1A news….but big- time QB from AC Reynolds has transferred to Crest. He has verbally committed to Virginia.
Maybe so. I am not saying its not true, its very possible. But there is alot of stuff floating around that you just do not know what to believe.
Can someone tell me how things are up in Ashe Co.? I haven't seen much information from up there on the local news here near Charlotte. I have family in the West Jefferson area and the community of Creston. My dad and uncle have been trying to reach them since Helene went through but still no luck. Would appreciate info.
The southern end is not too bad, except near the river. The Creston and Lansing areas hit pretty hard. The folks at West Jefferson United Methodist Church are shuttling supplies as far away as Damascus, VA. Maybe you could try the church to get a better feel for Creston. They may know your folks and have some word. Ashe County is a pretty tight society.
My prayers are with you.
I think the Ashe Gym being used as shelter. Hope this is not true about shutting down the season!
Have not posted in a long time, but just wanted to check in from Ashe. Have not heard about whether they are done for the fall season or not, however it would not surprise me based on the high school being used as a shelter, numerous people still not able to get in and out of their homes, reports of people still missing, etc. Once you go north and west of Jefferson and West Jefferson, it's some of the worst storm damage you'll ever see.
Thanks for the update. My dad, uncle and I are still trying to reach family in West Jefferson but mostly in the community of Creston. My dad made a couple calls today but still nothing yet.
Do you happen to have a street in Creston or names of people youre looking for? My address is in West Jefferson but I live about 6 miles from the Creston Post Office, it's a bumpy ride but they have made some progress on some of the roads around here, at least some temporary fixes. Feel free to email me, nh70744 at yahoo.com if I can find a way to their place I'd be glad to go check in on them. They say that you can get from Creston all the way to Mountain City, TN now without detours
Well, if my dad can reach my cousin Nancy Osborne Rupard we could probably find out about the rest of the family. Looking on Google earth the address is 1310 Ridge Hill Rd. If she could contact my dad James Coppedge @ 704-475-0995. My grandmother was a Brown who grew up on Ridge Hill Rd.
Is it Rich Hill instead of Ridge Hill maybe? I am familiar with the Rich Hill Community, it is off of Highway 88 not far past the Riverview Community Center in Creston. If it is Rich Hill Road, it is at the intersection of Highway 88 right next to the North Fork of the New River it did a lot of damage to the road and power poles through there so my guess is they probably still do not have electricity and part of that road probably suffered some serious damage. However I will be glad to ride out there and reach out to some folks that I know are delivering food and supplies to people in that area via ATVs and side by sides if my Jeep can't make it
I'm sorry...typo Rich Hill Road is what I meant. My dad said to tell you thanks for the help.
No problem. I will see what I can find out and try and get in touch with them.
