Fred, Rob Everyone Posted by Jason Western PA on September 29, 2024, 8:22 pm Fred, has your power come back on? Rob and everyone else. How are you all doing down there? Need anything from us?

Jason Posted by Rob N TN on September 30, 2024, 2:09 am, in reply to "Fred, Rob Everyone" Jason thank you for checking on us down south. We are good in my area but areas 100 miles east is where the destruction begins. It's horrible in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina and I heard tonight around a million people are still without power, internet, ATM service and open stores in South Carolina. Western North Carolina is 100% devastated. People are stranded in communities with no way out and people are furious that billions of dollars are leaving our country monthly to wars and nations far away when we need infrastructure help here. I'm thankful this isn't nationwide like a power grid failure or national food shortage but its a reality in the Appalachians. Saw a Tennessee news clip today of caskets popping up out of the ground and people cant do anything about it. 100 people are still missing just in Tennessee and not sure of the regional death count but it's extremely high. Some families have recovered loved ones and even neighbors bodies but cant do anything with them until the help arrives. If there is good news, on the Tennessee side, the populations are smaller and the area is contained to about 9 counties. We are so lucky but many areas in central Tennessee picked up whopping rain totals. One day in Nashville it rained 6 inches. It rained here all last night and I have 7 inches of rain in my gauge. Less rain tomorrow and we begin a week of sunny skies with temps in the 80*s and that's the best news we could get. A tropical system brewing in the caribbean looks less likely to be as strong as it will have wind sheer and a blocking high in the south that should push it back out into the Atlantic off the coast of central Florida but there will be heavy rain there. Loss of life was heavy in Georgia and NE Georgia was hit especially hard. I saw a photo of Six Flages in Atlanta today and the roller coasters looked like they were in the sea. Thanks Jason, appreciate it .

Re: Jason Posted by Jason Western PA on September 30, 2024, 6:20 am, in reply to "Jason" Totally agree on the money flow. I pray for those poor people. Happy your good.

Re: Fred, Rob Everyone Posted by Kevin seTN on September 30, 2024, 8:40 am, in reply to "Fred, Rob Everyone" We were fortunate Jason. In fact, most of the rain we got was a good steady to (moderate a few times) drizzly rain. It soaked in nicely. We were in a severe drought and this surely helped. Nothing to report down here in southeast Tennessee. Few power outages etc... thankfully. Kevin seTN
