Speaking of food, I lost an entire haul I did a day before HELLene. I'm in the process of dealing with my insurance company to settle the loss. I feel a bit chagrined, really, being all I lost was power and food when others lost homes and everything in them.
You're right about the weather events; however, this deep in the mountains of Carolina is unheard of. It's never happened before, and NO ONE was prepared. People are like, "Why didn't you prepare?!" Because, BITCHES, who knew?! Asheville was established in the 1700's and nothing like this has EVER happened!
