An update from me.  Unbelievable damage to Asheville NC and a wide surrounding area. Whole towns washed away. So many missing and over 100 dead. Just want you to know I am OK but no internet since the event. I have spotty cellular data so wanted to let you all know why I am away. It has been amazing to see the people of NC and America coming together to rescue and restore water & power . They have had to cut their way through roads covered with huge downed trees. Our street power was restored last night because this part of town's electric was supplied by underground  since last year . They just had to repair the giant transformer and most of the grid to do it. Our generator is going to need the motor replaced when all settles down. Town  Water service also destroyed Surviving on bottled water. National guards have been activated. Gov. Ron  De Santos sent 100's of Linesman from Florida. So many old growth trees down they have to cut their way through to us. 5G fiber optics washed away. We didn't get a  free trial of starlink as we couldn't get online to order it. No word on when cable or internet will be restored here.  I am using cellular data to do this update  ...until we are back on normal services  I can't participate in my groups.  Have had to make this a group message to save data time. Do not worry. We are well and will come through OK.  Miss you all. SuZ
