In Erwin near the Nolichuckey river, a few parts of Interstate 26 were
destroyed.  Now Asheville is completely cut off.  Glad you got home when you
did.

Here's a video from a professional drone pilot showing the devastastion in
Erwin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FVvRe0JNqo

Smoked meats are fine, however.
