WNC is one of my favorite places in the world to be. This is just heartbreaking to see. What are some organizations I can volunteer with to help with cleanup?
@HighCountryRocks Күн бұрын
I will start listing and linking organizations in the description. MOUNTAN STRONG is my first recommendation.

When we moved the WNC in the early 90s we thought the same thing. Now, 3 of the homes we looked at are no longer there. It is now obvious the risk, like living beach front.

The Toe River flows into the Nolichucky River, which also had catastrophic flooding. Erwin, Tennessee was heavily flooded by the Nolichucky River.

per the WNCRocks website, the crabtree mine is not open for collecting at all, effective since Sept. 27. a bummer, not sure how you paid to go out there so recently. and that road must be in pretty rough condition to say the least, LOL!

I will get it on a scale . It is very small. That's the higher quality of Crabtree mine. It is mostly in the matrix, but the heavy rains washed this one to the surface. I will add the size.

This entire experience will be engraved in my brain for the rest of my life. I try to replace the sadness and destruction with hope and love. The compassion others have shown will be treasured by me and so many more. The amount of loss is incomprehensible.
