    At 4:44, the white building on the left is a B&B my wife and I stayed in two summers ago. The balcony on the 2nd floor was our room. We loved Chimney Rock. This is heartbreaking.

    Praying that weather is good for optimum working conditions and that all the necessary supplies are readily available. May the Lord bless you with safety, the energy you all need, and helpful and understanding families. Patience for all those who are doing without and trying to rebuild their lives into a new "normal." God bless you one and all.

    I live 2 miles from Lake Lure and it took them a week to get my power on! I was shocked! I had power lines all over my back yard and the road I live on was a disaster! I really believed we would be without power for at least 3 weeks! Thank you to the linemen! They sacrifice so much and they work like super hero’s!

    Why did you edict out the pickup truck waving the American flag? Aside from that, you did an excellent interview with this unsung hero. God bless him, his family, all the utility workers and their families. I pray they are all kept safe. God bless all the good people in North Carolina and the other states hit so hard. I pray that neighbors-helping-neighbors will get everyone quickly back on their feet and all of these communities rebuilt in record time.

    So where did all the sediment, rock and debris that was displaced end up? Did it end up in a lake downstream or just scattered along the creek and river banks??
