WNCW DUers - check on. How are you?

Craig here in Hendersonville, off 64 between the Gem Mine and Horse Shoe. No power, some Internet over phone (Verizon), text, email OK. But water, gas stove and hot water heater. No damage to house, but lots of trees down.

How are you?

Waters receded. No cell service yet. Land line works sometimes---seems like mostly robo calls
I have cable modem and we've had cable & internet the whole time....although kind of slow.

Thankful we didn't get worse....but as a business person dependent on tourism, I'm worrying about the future. Last time that I-40 went down we were out of business for over 7 months.

Take care!

I heard that suggested on the radio last night. Might boost the signal and our ability to connect, to text ot call
Glad you're safe and have had internet. Amazing how much I missed it!
