Checking on Far West VA Posters

Lots of places still w/o power and/or phone... Grayson Co. still 97% powerless as of last night
Minor flooding in general, but a few places got hit, like Damascus (Holston HS) and Narrows.

We are slowly regaining power and cleaning up messes from the storms. As mentioned above Grayson and Damascus areas were hit very hard as well as the Tazewell and Richlands areas. Lots of schools still out because of lack of power or flooding of the schools.
 
I’ve seen video footage on the news from out that way and far west N.C. It’s crazy how much destruction that took place.
 
Narrows here, got power back today. 9.5 inches of rain on my weather station before we lost power noon Friday.

In our power region (AEP) 93,000 out of 1,049,000 are still without.

Too much water, and with the New River flowing north from around Boone, NC it brought theirs to all of us.

Still better than most south of us though.
 
Galax got about 8.6 inches of rain over 72 hours.

Thanks for checking on us!
Our daughter in Galax for a few years, and worked at Tri County. I developed a fondness of the town and the people.
