Never the same after the concussion
Still hard to believe a 90% free throw shooter in high school could regress that much. How does your free throw go to shit?

Shit, you should see my pond site. Best use of a low area that was filled with muck and some poplars.Actually I was referring to you writing about murdering the poor defenceless trees on your farm.
Fatheads I’ll put in this month, bluegill spring, bass next fall. Hoping pond is full in the spring. About 15 feet to go!
Wrong forum as usual for you. I can’t imagine what it’s like to not be able to post in the correct forum.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. I work with a very large company based in Arden, which is a suburb of Asheville, but across the river. I think both of the main roads to their plant are not passable. One, the bridge is out and the other runs right along the river and is washed out. And they don't have water or electricity from what I know. We are supposed to be doing a good sized project for them at a new facility and I haven't hard anything from anyone this week. One of the main Asheville substations was submerged and they trucked in 2 large substations, and 1 replaced the damaged one in Asheville and the other they are sending to Hot Springs, which is the little town I wrote about in another thread. I should be up there in the next couple weeks to volunteer. Gonna be a long recovery period. I'm in a FB group for Appalachian Trail hikers and my guess is the entire 2025 season will be a wash for the southern third of the AT.
I thru-hiked in 1999, and have been back to the area multiple times since. Erwin, Hot Springs, Damascus...my favorite trail towns got wrecked. Such a sad situation. Went to Trail Days this year for the 25th anniversary of our hike, hope these communities can eventually come back stronger.
I stayed in a cool airbnb in Erwin on the Nolichucky River about 6 weeks ago on a trip to Johnson City TN. I checked with the owner and he said both of his cabins floated away and he and his wife had to be airlifted off their roof by helicopter. The Nolichucky is formed by the N Toe River, S Toe River and Cane River flowing out of NC, between Asheville and Boone, and then it heads southwest to Erwin TN. Honestly, I think that was the hardest hit area just in terms of destruction for a whole area and there are a lot of hard to reach spots up there. My personal guess is that the death toll is going to climb exponentially as they get back up into those coves and hollers. I heard a high water rescuer say the National Guard had marked 60 spots as potential deaths in a 6 mile stretch of the river.
I think it's false, but I'm not there, and can't say for sure. You have a huge group of people who have 1 thought and it's not helping people in NC in October, it's helping them in November. What I've seen are many military vehicles, planes and helicopters and National Guardsmen and soldiers off loading supplies and equipment. I would guess their main focus is on supply and delivery of goods and keeping the distribution points stocked and they seem to be doing that, along with engineering and repair. From there it seems to be locals supporting locals and that makes sense because they know where the folks are in their communities that need help. That to me seems to be working. The last flood like this, and I don't think it was this bad, was 1916, so I don't know what peoples expectations are on how fast federal resources could respond and reach these areas. They're not expecting to have to deliver such huge amounts of aid and resources to the mountains of TN and NC from hurricanes, and with all roads, infrastructure and communications depleted, it's not gonna happen overnight. The woman I mentioned who said that the National Guard had identified a bunch of possible corpses is way up on the Toe River in NC (if you want to look at a map, the area around Poplar, Relief and Green Mountain NC) and those were tough spots to reach before the hurricane. Frankly I was shocked to hear her say the NG had reached them, but almost assuredly by helicopter. From my armchair in Charlotte, it seems to me that resources are getting out into very hard to reach places pretty well overall. But, yes, the person feeding or aiding those up in those hard to reach places might be locals and not federal people or soldiers for now. This is a totally different undertaking than aiding people in cities like New Orleans or Tampa affected by hurricanes. And, my view of the response in Charlotte/Rock Hill where I never lost power, water or cell service might be totally different than someone in Black Mountain who's had none of that for over a week and just wants to know her parents up in some cabin in Poplar NC is OK.
