Hurricane Helene: Neighbors Helping Neighbors In Avery County
Update 10/09/02024: This video was taken by a group called "Down South Adventures". Most of it was shot in the area where I live. The image above is where one would turn right to my house. The DOT got the hole you see in the bridge patched yesterday so now we can get to Spruce Pine when needed. The local guys worked on a temporary road for days. It is really rough but sure beats walking out. As you will see in the video, the outpouring of support has been unreal. We have had people from all over bringing in supplies, water and gas. I got a new generator a couple of days ago. Now I have running water and power for a few hours per day. Hopefully the power will be restored in a couple of days. My neighbor across the street is on kidney dialysis, he and his wife have had an awful time. The latest was, they have a much needed Generac generator that was only a year old. It stopped running a couple of days ago. They finely got a guy to come look at it and he said it was going to have to be replaced. That's going to take a while. Finally, yesterday someone brought them a portable generator. It's been a tough time but everyone has stayed strong. Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and generous support during these trying times. I will send another update in a few days. Mel
