HELENE'S FURY!

 HELENE'S FURY LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK IN IT'S HISTORY!

At least 5 states in Appalachia cannot ever forget or forgive it's fury and it's scarred aftermath!  As of October 6th morning at 4am the official death count stands at 227 in the 6 states of Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia.  Officials in the those states fear that the toll will continue to rise due to the devastation! Over 2 million are still without power.

Typical of the devastation is the community of Chimney Rock, North Carolina.  The Mayor reported that the business district was totally wiped out!  The scenes of total devastation is played out in all the states equally.

Many roads are still closed and will be for some indetermined time.  For example, the entire Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia is closed for indefinitely, due to several major total washouts!  In fact, in some places will require replacing the affected sections completely!  I estimate that some sections will require rerouting or replacing with bridges!  This damage will take at least months or a year or longer! 

Many places are shut-off from the outside World and cannot reach their loved ones due to non-existing communications!  They are without water and life sustaining food, in many cases.  If these communities are not reached and given help soon...!
