See videos on news of storm damage in MOUNTAINS of NC........am wondering if there has ever been such storm damage from hurricanes that far inland? Live on a coast and you expect that, but that far inland, way up high?

Normally when a hurricane hits land, it looses steam and starts shutting down and falling apart. This one kept going like it was still over water. It then hooked up with a different low pressure system, did a little do-si-do, then the two merged before finally shutting down and falling apart. All that took several days.

At least one search and rescue team from MO still down there. News said they had been tasked with searching a 10 mile stretch of some NC river today.....both sides. Cadaver dogs checking out the brush piles, snags, etc. Several hundred now confirmed dead......one of worst natural disasters I can recall.

But good to hear power slowly coming back up. Recovery going to take awhile...but like eating an elephant........got to start with the first bite.

Just heard that some parts of NC may be months before power is restored.

Thanks to the Alabama lineman for the help ,
They are Just a bunch of good ole country boys with big hearts .

Several i went to school with so yep, most of them come from small towns and all of us who live in the south have dealt with ice storms knocking out power or tornado's so they know what's it like to go without power for extended days.

Ga. Power does same thing when we get hit though, like how all the power company's work together to keep things turned on.
