Very off topic, ......

But posted in the General category. There IS an Off Topic category. Could use it.

Generally speaking, I'm a rebel-ish nonconformist.

Volvos are safe when used correctly, not so much when being hurled at you while you're tied to a tree.

My family farm is right up the Cape Fear just outside of Wilmington. We've got the corn in but the soybeans probably won't make it. The folks up there have been through many blows so I know they're ready for it. Coincidently was talking to a neighboring farmer just this past Spring and we both agreed that the area was due for a big one.

I hope everybody finds safe haven, the crops are important too, but next spring will bring new growth.

Sounds a bit like Chauncey Gardener.

Ignorance, wisdom...same difference.

HUGO was really Bad. This one is going to tear up the place. We need to prepare for helping after the effect. We can help out as a Dawg Nation to the area affected.

I lived just off the main north-south road thru Greenville SC in 1994 when we had the worst ice storm ever just north of us in the mountain bridge area of SC and the mountains of Western NC. For days afterward an army of Duke Power trucks passed thru on their way north. I didn't think they had so many vehicles in their entire multi-state operations.
Close to 2.5 million people were without power, some for weeks.

Ahhh great memories. That was my last of 3 winters in Asheville. Snowed in for over a week with no power. Had a neighbor that used almost all of his new deck for firewood just to keep warm.

Was that 94 or 95? I remember going back to school after Christmas break my freshman year in 95 and getting a hotel room in Greenvegas with another buddy from Atlanta because the roads got bad. Got snowed in for a couple of days.

94, remember it well as I finally got some smarts and came back to Georgia.

The blizzard tracked a bit north of Greenville, the ice storm came the next winter.
I did some hiking from Jones Gap to Cesar's Head after the blizzard, the snow wasn't quite as deep as where you were or here in NW Georgia, but there was 20 inches or so to wade thru.
I lived outside of Asheville from 2001 till Oct 2008, it's my favorite place in the east.

It could have been 95, I was thinking it was a year after the 93 blizzard, but I could be mistaken.

So let me guess, WC stands for Western Carolina.

I must have been thinking of the ice storm then. Though there was a fair amount of snow. I was just happy to be out of my parents’ house and being snowed in with some grass, beer, and the NFL playoffs on wasn’t bad at all lol. To be 18 again. Sigh.
