i believe it quite well, temporary morgues have been set up downtown, and many many reports of bodies flowing down rivers. keep in mind the rural towns of WNC are in valleys where water pools up quickly not to mention the amount of mobile homes not built to survive this type of storm. several towns have been completely wiped off the map see spruce pine and chimney rock. from what i can tell from your previous posts is that your cabin is rather close to Cataloochee higher up in the mountains so it would not be as badly affected as the areas in the bottoms of the valleys so your personal view may be skewed. With communications being down for several days the official numbers have not been able to reach news outlets and likely is a low priority as of now, also the rural areas are being severely under reported in comparison to more developed areas like Boone and Asheville. I am convinced that this tragedy is only going to get worse as utilities are restored and that the devastation is immeasurable that will take months to restore completely
Everyone I know and care about are doing just fine so im glad about that
