Hurricane Helene’s Horrific Hellscape

I'm trying to do what I can to help our state, using my Ford Transit Connect and taking supplies to Charlotte to be flown into inaccessible areas where the roads are gone. There's a great need for chainsaws. If you have one to donate, bring it by the studio, and I'll take it to Ashe County.
