Survived!
Not sure how to connect with all my buds ,but hope this will be a conduit to let you know Helene the hurricane of the century for Western north Carolina did a number. Dozens of towns were obliterated or GONE. An Interstate highway dropped into the Pigeon River between Asheville and Knoxville. Seventy-two dead and more than 200 missing. We were in the dark seven days when the lights came on a 7pm last night. Cold showers and backyard meals from a grill had us living like pioneers crossing the plains 200 years ago. We are fine without damage.
RE: Survived!
Thanks for letting us know, Tom. I was beginning to get worried about you. What an ordeal! So much damage and death. Glad you are safe and that power has finally been restored.

I have relatives there... They also were blessed to come through this storm, Tom. Thank-you for letting us know you endured and will emerge from this ordeal like the true pioneer you are!

Enjoying the mental image of the pioneers hauling the Weber out of the back of the Prairie Schooner...

Milton hit other writers on this site. I know at least one of them made it.
