Chimney rock village ... destroyed
Everyone in the South East USA got hammered. I was one of them. My power just came back on. Thankfully our home just had some siding and soffit ripped off and its a new house under the builders warrantee so we are fine. I can not tell you how many times I have visited Chimney Rock Park and the tourist village. Last time I went there I was riding my motorcycle. It is a beautiful place with lots to do and see. I even have a picture of my mom standing on top of Chimney Rock when she was pregnant with me in 1971. We used to ride up there and drink beer on the river. Me and my wife have stayed in a motel that I think is no longer there. Now for the sad part. Last I heard, 80 dead and hundreds missing. My wife knows the wife of an emergency rescue guy who had to go there and he said its the most tragic shit. They would get calls to rescue people and he said that all they would find were a few pets here and there when they arrived. One guy was seen floating down the river
