Hurricane Helene, Midlands: 27 September 2024 2 comments
Well, I'm really irritated with myself because I only got two pictures of all the storm damage. I was out drving this morning looking for a place I might be able to find coffee & Internet to work from as my power was out. There were all kind of trees down, including huge ones, and one which fell across Beltline just a few minutes (apparently) after I had passed by going the other way. Sylvan @ Trenholm was completely blocked, and Kilbourne seemed to have a tree down in every yard. So, intead of thinking to take pictures, I got worried about whether I could actually get home (given I couldn't go back down Beltline), and totally forgot to take any shots other than the ones of the Caro sign.
Hope everyone is OK!
UPDATE 30 September 2024 -- Well, to revise & extend my remarks, as they say, based on the comments, it seems that the Caro sign was damaged before the storm. I will leave the pictures, because that's it's done, but I will add a few mild actual storm damage pictures below. When I wrote this post last Friday, I thought we had been through a medium-bad event, nothing like the Flood of 2015. Obviously I now know that while we were not hit that badly here in the Midlands, our fellow Sandlappers and Tarheels took a major blow, and I urge everyone to contribute what they can.
