Safety is the top concern for all in western NC. I can see playoffs being delayed though as many schools in the west may face closure and travel issues for weeks.
I don’t know how the state will handle this. My son in law has been sent to Waynesville with EMS. He is a paramedic. They had a lot of issues getting there as so many mudslides have blocked roads. When they did get there he was asked if he brought body bags. He said yes. They asked how many and he replied about 100 plus. How many do you need? The guy said about 100 plus.Safety is the top concern for all in western NC. I can see playoffs being delayed though as many schools in the west may face closure and travel issues for weeks.

The economic impact will be devestating in the long run. Some of these towns impacted were already not doing great. I hope the government gets money and resources there ASAP to help the re build of this great area of our state. I have many friends and family that are in the areas impacted. Gonna be weeks/ months for any kind of normal from what it sounds like. It's terrible. Prayers up to all impacted.Most of the losses won't be covered unless they had flood insurance. The economic loss will be felt for years to come. I don't understand why the media isn't treating it like Katrina. The devastation is unreal
Just found out my Aunt and Uncle in Asheville are OK. Still haven't heard from my family members up in Ashe County. My Uncle has been trying to reach them.
