    The whole county I live in is without power. I will have to throw away a fridge and two freezers full of food when we can make it back home. A lot of that food was stuff for the hang. On the front of the house we know we lost some shingles ( neighbor sent us video and photos ). Don't know what back of house looks like. We have a pecan tree in back yard that always suffers when a hurricane thru but I use the damage wood for smoking Q. I think the tree has been knocked down 3 times since and keeps coming back.

    I loaded my Freezer with a bunch of bottle. Probably close to 3 gallons.
    I went and got 40 lbs of ice in a cooler.

    The rain just started here. I expect to lose power with all of the trees here.
    We shall see.
    I collect vintage camp stoves.
    I roast coffee at home.

    I put bottle water in our freezer as well. I'll be using it for cleaning or cooking. We have well water so NO drinking that! I did fill up 2 trash cans for flushing. With all the backpack meals Gunner has, we should eat well. Like he said, 2 freezers ��

    Hope you folks find things are better than you expect when you get back. Don't expect you should come to Grayson. Take care of your needs. Best of luck to y'all.

    Gunner, Terminator, and Pappyamos glad you all evacuated to safety see you all soon.


    We were without power for 2 hours and no damage to the property and I live on a wooded lot. Only had to run generator for 30 minutes.
    Straight out of Clayton.

    Most physical hike: Grandfather Mountain, NC. Aug 13.

    I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.

    I can say you are safe on highway 70 to Smithfield, but after that I don't know.
