    Quite a harrowing experience; Steve rates it just behind the trip we
    made thru a blizzard in early 2013. Interstate 40 and all other roads
    west of Asheville, NC into eastern Tennesee were closed because of rock and mud slides on Friday; we drove thru the area on Thurday in heavy
    rain. Got home yesterday, looks like Wake Forest just got wind and
    rain. Tornadoes touched down in several places in eastern NC, western
    part of the state is dealing with heavy flooding. Do know that one
    other couple from the rally got home (just above Phhiladelphia, PA)
    late Thursday night.

    In Erwin near the Nolichuckey river, a few parts of Interstate 26 were destroyed. Now Asheville is completely cut off. Glad you got home when you did.

    I like that--have to remember it and use it whenever I encounter a
    heavy smoker.

    Smoked meats are fine, however.

    Hi Sean,


    Quite a harrowing experience; Steve rates it just behind the trip we
    made thru a blizzard in early 2013. Interstate 40 and all other roads
    west of Asheville, NC into eastern Tennesee were closed because of rock and mud slides on Friday; we drove thru the area on Thurday in heavy
    rain. Got home yesterday, looks like Wake Forest just got wind and

    In Erwin near the Nolichuckey river, a few parts of Interstate 26 were destroyed. Now Asheville is completely cut off. Glad you got home
    when you did.

    So am I! I understand I-26 is open now in some places but it will be a
    while before I-40 is.


    Here's a video from a professional drone pilot showing the
    devastastion in Erwin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FVvRe0JNqo

    I saw something similar--scary to think we were on I-40 just a few hours
    before the damage was done.


    I like that--have to remember it and use it whenever I encounter a
    heavy smoker.

    "No smoking, please; I'd rather die of natural causes."

    Smoked meats are fine, however.

    Agreed on both, but some folks are saying that some of the chemicals (nitrites/nitrates) in commercially smoked meats are bad for us.
