Just got off the phone with my sister. She works for a company specializing in social services in WNC. They have 67 employees unaccounted for.

It’s gonna be maybe some kind of record. Not the kind you want.

I am thinking maybe a number of those just could still be cut off from communicating. I hope.

Folks I am finally back online here in Haywood County. I've not ready this entire thread as we have been knocked back to the stone ago here in wnc. But whatever you've heard about the damage up here I can promise you it's much worse.

That’s what my friends that live in the heart of it say. I was able to make it to old fort and it was terrible.

Some of the old timers might not have left no matter what.  Remember the guy Harry Truman at Mt St Helens? And the others thinking they were a safe distance, observers, it was just bigger than they realized. 
 

There are a few pics online of Spruce Pine and that area. Not much. Found a couple of stories on AOL I didn’t know they were still on existence.

I know a guy who knows a first responder from outside Asheville.  The first responder told him they haven't even begun searching in a lot of areas and there are hundreds of un identified bodies already.  I hope it isn't,  but I have a feeling that unfortunately it is true.  Really sad.

We need helicopters. There's a ton in the air but not enough and I'm not sure how many are doing S&R. There's so many roads washed out and/or hopelessly blocked by down trees that about of isolated mountain communities literally aren't accessible any other way. Cutting your way in with chainsaws really just isn't feasible. It's absolutely pathetic that five days after private helicopters are still outnumbering government by probably 10:1.

Because they're basically shut off. You can get to Spruce Pine but beyond that you pretty much need a helicopter.

      The lines dictate the game. Always.  Defense: control the LOS and pressure the QB Offense: control the LOS and prevent pressure on the QB

      Bryce Young for Trevor Lawrence

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield, Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold are not clutch QBs. They will need defense and great game management to win consistently during the season. They are done in the playoffs when the defense and coaching can't carry the game. Don't waste time or money on them. They'll be the end of great coaching and defense in the playoffs following a strong running game during the season. Geno Smith is clutch and can contend for a championship game in the playoffs.

      Thursday Football: Bucs @ Falcons

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Amazes me anyone would say he's not clutch. 30.4% GWD conversion is lower level clutch like Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Andy Dalton is 26.4%. Baker Mayfield is 17.5% and Sam Darnold is 12.5%. Bryce Young is 11.1%. People need to realize QB must be 60% clutch and 40% game manager in an NFL game. A couple of my QB targets are Cooper Rush at 75.0% and Desmond Ridder at 35.7%. Desmond Ridder had crazy clutch ratios like Tom Brady in their college careers. Ridder needs a coach like Canales. SB dynasty QBs are around 40% & clutch playoff QBs who make it to championship games are around 30% as a gauge. When you run this across the 64 championship QBs over the past 35 seasons you'll see the same result with a 3% to 5% swing from the start to finish of their career. This goes for the undervalued championship QBs like Case Keenum and Erik Kramer too. QBs come prepared from college knowing how to be a clutch performer. It's only the game management and system they need to be coached up on in the NFL.
