@LTT1 : Thank you. We are good. The sun has played " peek a boo" all day long, but enjoyed the cooler weather.

A big thank you for all the prayers for everyone affected by this storm in so many states!

Someone asked how the leaf viewing will be this year in Appalachia.  In NC I think it will practically nonexistent.  Latest updates shows major travel headaches as there are several roads across the west washed out, and a landslide took out a good portion of Interstate 40 near Tennessee/NC state line.

There is so much damage, power outages, so forth.  Not as bad as Florida but tragic nonetheless.

Death toll update: 49 people including two firefighters.  But people missing.  So it might possibly rise. I saw some the photos.  Just terrible.  

My heat goes out to the people and their families.  I wonder if they had set up a fund?

@Coastalcarolina 

The devastation is terrifying.

That chunk of highway taken out is also very terrifying...and dangerous.

@Coastalcarolina 

Did you take this picture?

If you did, it is award winning.

This photo is worthy of news footage.

IMO.it shows the destruction that can come with inland hurricane winds and rain.

So glad everything is fine where you are, in Maryland.

That storm WAS huge...covering those states at once.

I was surprised yesterday while checking the rain forecast, that the bands of rain changed direction, which is to be expected based on the circular motion of the storm.

TWC is saying 44 dead.  Is this due to people not heeding evacuation orders?  At least get your kids & pets out to safety. That would be my first priority.

@LTT1 , no I didn't take photo.  Was circulating on X. Formerly Twitter.

@BalletBabe  - Glad you're safe and sound.  A poster just mentioned death toll up to 44.  Omg.
