Why can't we edit on this app?

I forgot to add this:

Western North Carolina is facing both a high wind advisory and a high fire danger right now, as we head into our second week of very cold temperatures.

Tonight will feel like 6 ° F (-14.44 ° C).

Anyway,

That's all gone now.

Instead of green we're surrounded by fields of fallen skeleton trees, endless brown devastation, and crumbling buildings.

The silence and stillness are deafening.

It's bleak out here.

Now the wind has picked up, temps are falling & my internet is completely out.

Hopefully the power holds.

I have a feeling it's going to be a long, hard week for WNC.

I'll be posting my three month Swannanoa/Asheville update as well as my personal update and reflections ASAP.

In the meantime, ask me anything you'd like to know about the situation on the ground here or about me, and I'll do my best to answer anything asked in good faith.

This was a super fun way to spend my weekend and not panic-inducing at all.

Happy New Year to us, I guess?

I'm still in the area navigating recovering, supporting my community, and sharing as much as I can about the experience along the way.
