Re: Hurricane Helene Aftermath and 10-8-24 WLC.
Martin, Thanks. We are pulling out of it here in Abbeville county SC. Those in my old home area in the NC mountains are going to take longer. The strange thing is that the mountains usually offer greater protection from such storms. This time they caused the storm to uplift moisture higher into the ...

Re: Hurricane Helene Aftermath and 10-8-24 WLC.
Warren, It scared my sister badly. She was alone when it happened. Her son and husband were at work. I am hoping her homeowners insurance covers the cost of repairing or replacing her house. I cannot complain. Dad, Joy and I came out much better than many around us. Many in the NC mountains are real...

Hurricane Helene Aftermath and 10-8-24 WLC.
It has been a really hectic time for my family and I since Hurricane Helene hit our area on the evening of September 26 and the morning of September 27th. It took our power out for 11 days plus took out the local cell towers and I had only a very poor connection from a more distant still active towe...
