Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
Local radio guy from WBT 1110 is scheduled to broadcast live from Bat Cave tonight. Billed as sort of a town hall conversation. Could help us all understand the actual local perspective.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
I didn’t get to listen either but he had actually already been up to Bat Cave and was aware of the situation. The same guy also flew with Samaritan’s Purse on delivery drops to some other isolated areas. A guy with the courage to do the work to be able to report the truth of the situation.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
Providence Roofing is giving away a free roof someone who needs it, and will do it for someone in Watauga county and I believe Avery county. Good for up to 10 thousand dollars. Nominate someone who needs a new roof at providenceroofs.com . Just heard a radio interview and they said they'd love to do one for a hurricane victim, but it's probably open to everyone. They do it every Christmas.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
Do you have any idea which areas may have local owner operator shops open. We want to go up this weekend and buy as many Christmas presents as we can from local folks in the damage zone.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
Suggest downtown Burnsville or Hendersonville. I don’t know what’s up and running in Spruce Pine. And thank you.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
I was thinking about trying Banner Elk and running south west from there. Wanted to at least go through Bat Cave.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
You can’t go through Bat Cave unless something has changed drastically. Banner Elk is open for business. The roads in parts of Avery, Mitchell and Yancy are frankly dangerous. Be aware and take care.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
Just a reminder: help is still needed. The Amish from Pennsylvania sent a 62-person crew and built 12 tiny homes from $300,000 of their community money. If you can spare the funds, then donate to local organizations.

Re: High Country Hurricane Damage
I know him casually and may have passed on information from him here a time or two. He is a decent person, with a really good sense of humor.
