64°f this morning, very humid.
Our morning began like this:
Followed by this:
I assumed that, given the red sky, we would have rain all day but surprisingly we had no rain, just very high humidity. Sarah was happy, as she was able to work around her cabin, and Larry was glad to get more weedeating done.
But North Carolina! How very terrible the flooding there is. It just defies imagination. We have had historic floods here in West Virginia over the years, so it's a familiar if horrible disaster, and yet I am not sure we have ever had one to rival what has happened in North Carolina. I did check with family there to make sure all was well with them, and aside from downed trees they were fine. I hope the same is true for any of you with family there. Also hoping to see a post from Lisa at Appalachian Ground blog, and Tipper at Blind Pig and the Acorn, as both are, I think, in the affected area. And Black Mountain Barb...I know her town sustained a great deal of flooding.
Watched the new about the flooding there...it's painful to see.
ReplyDeleteFloods in the mountains are so devastating because there's no where for the water to go. I hope for the best for all affected. Is Sarah's cabin on your property?
ReplyDeleteYes, just so scary for people in the bottomlands.
DeleteSarah bought 10 acres from us. She wouldn't let us give it to her, although we would have been happy to do so. It is so nice when she gets to come in because she usually stays a week or more.
...a blogger near Asheville hasn't surfaced, not a good sign.
ReplyDeleteI have several friends in the affected areas, Tom, no word from them.
DeleteGlad everyone is safe. Like Tom, I wonder about Vicki near Asheville.
ReplyDeleteAnd Barbara Rogers in Black Mountain
DeleteI haven't seen or read any news for a couple of days so I wasn't aware of what was going on over the pond. I am sorry to hear what is happening to bloggers you know, I do hope they are safe and you hear from them soon x
ReplyDeleteThe devastation is just mind-boggling. The number of people affected: I can scarcely grasp it.
ReplyDeleteIt is tragic. Some people will never recover.
