That's tragic news about the missing people... can't fathom the misery and worry for lost loved ones.


Scott Lewis, aka Maniac, has text me that the Davidson River Hatchery flooded out...
he says "trout all over the sidwalk/parking lot"

I saw some pics today from a guy I work with who lives in Cruso on the Big east Fork of the Pigeon. His house is pretty much destroyed. They won't even let him go back up there. Houses sitting in the middle of what's left of the roads, lots of houses just gone. Pile of cars and trees and house trailers and campers and utility sheds. Houses on top of piles of cars. Trout laying around dead on the ground and swimming in puddles. It's unbelievable, looks like a nuke dropped.

That section that's closed is from Cruso to Brevard. It's a winding 2 lane goat path and I imagine it's wiped out in many places. Gonna be a long drive for someone to get around that section. No access to the Blue Ridge Parkway in either direction for miles either.

I heard the triple arch bride on 215 had heavy damage, too.

Edit: "bridge," not bride. I don't know how the triple arch bride is doing, but her back will probably go out when she hits middle age.

Oh no :'( That one is a beauty. I've seen photos of some of the bridges on the Davidson. They aren't safe and I'm sure they will be closed for a long time. All the forest service roads are closed over that way. The last time FS475 was damaged it took 3 or 4 years to open. The bridge at the hatchery looks like it's toast. The last time that was wipped out it took 3 years to replace it. I've never seen damage like this. I'm sure the US Forest Service doesn't have money to replace them.

I was told that the Cruso Community Center is sitting in the middle of 276.

Is the community center close to the fire dept? I bet 215 is toast too. I've never in my lifetime seen damage like this. I knew it was going to be bad when the ground was alread saturated and all the creeks were blow out before it ever hit. :'(

>>>Authorities combing areas of North Carolina flooded by the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred said Thursday that two people have been found dead and about 20 were unaccounted for.

Meanwhile, Fred — now a post-tropical cyclone — was pushing through New York and New England with drenching rains, and Tropical Storm Henri was sending dangerous waves onto East Coast beaches. Forecasters said Henri will likely strengthen into a hurricane as it approaches the northeastern U.S. early next week.

Call out the National Guard and FEMA and ask for federal help Roy. This is so sad, these poor people need help now.
