We did okay overall. Asheville is still a mess though. There's people playing politics with relief. Now, I'm just riding by wreckage everyday until it finally gets cleaned up. There's a transformer and broken power lines just lying on the side of the road on my street because they had to do makeshift repairs and go off to fix other places. Doesn't look very "first world," but that's just perception. Biggest disappointment is not a single soul seems to have thought about how this showed the precarious nature of the system and its infrastructure.
Doog, I don't know why people cannot just accept some level of contribution for climate change and what it is doing to the weather, but that's apparently where we are. Fair skepticism became denialism amazingly quickly. I'm still open to natural processes contributing, but watching the world burn lest we destroy the economy is quite the false dichotomy. Glad you weathered it when it happened to you.
