I seen they are evacuating people around Lake Lure area to higher ground due to possible Dam failure. That’s not good

Seen a photo of Freedom high school football field. It’s bad. Looks like a lake out there on the field
 
My prayers sent to all of you down in western NC! I just saw a clip of where I-40 washed into the Pigeon River. I got on Google maps and almost every major road had the red closed symbols on it. I have never saw that on there before. GOD bless everyone down there in that and Prayers sent from West Virginia! If there is anything we can get together and do to help keep us posted.

It's devastating around here no power unless you have generators Chimney Rock was completely destroyed the green river cove area of Polk county is completely unpassable top side coming from saluda had the side of the mountain slide down bottomed side flooded along river destroyed all the roads all homes along river are lost some people living farther off the river took in neighbors there have been a few people hike there way out. There is no power no cell service all the main towns from landrum in south carolina toward ashville have no power or spotty power basically all of Polk county is out of power. We heard they are flying people out of lake lure and chimney rock in helicopters because there is no other way to reach them all road ways in and out are completely gone.
 
This going have ramifications for playoffs - Some team may miss out bc this is going take Weeks to Months to get towns , schools and etc back in working shape but ofc football games are least important things rn for Mtn communities

There are going to be school districts that will be lucky to get back in the building before Christmas if not longer.
 
I made it out of Bakersville yesterday on only route available at the time into TN and made it to Newport News VA at my daughters and her husband's place. like everywhere Mitchell county is just devastated water higher than I ever thought it could and wind that you never see in the mountains. Of course no power , water or cell service which makes it even worse because people who don't live there anymore are worried sick like my daughters were because of no communication.
