The remnants of Hurricane Frances hit Western North Carolina with a vengeance last night. According to news reports Biltmore Village (near the world famous Biltmore Estate) was under 7 feet of water earlier today. The main water treatment plant is offline, the governor's declared a state of emergency, and lots of people have suffered major damage to their homes and businesses.
I lucked out. Where I live and where I work are in the areas least affected, so I personally have had it no worse off than if it had rained for a couple of days. All of my family are okay, and I'm in the process of checking with my friends.
I don't know how many other EN Worlders are from WNC. I do recall seeing at least one poster from Swannanoa, which is one of the worst hit areas. In any case, I hope everyone and all of their loved ones are okay.
