Update: earlier today my wife and I sat in the Black Mountain Ingles parking lot from 10:30AM to 4:00PM.
Ingles refused to open or sell anything to anyone even turning away families with small children and babies. Families begging to purchase diapers and formula were turned —
Does anyone have a plane/helicopter that they would be willing to help my wife and I get home in? We are trapped in Black Mountain (no food or water) and we have a medically complex handicap son who requires around the clock care, medications, and a ventilator. Please help. #NC
Didn’t realize how many folks have no idea where Asheville and these other underwater towns are.
I’m in Raleigh- 2hrs inland. Asheville is 4hrs west of me, up in the blue ridge mountains. It was unthinkable that a hurricane could wipe out towns this far inland & high up.
