Hey y'all. It's been a couple of weeks since my last update ..

Hey y'all. It's been a couple of weeks since my last update on the devastation here in NC so let me fill you in a bit. Just a heads up, this is not gonna be a fun read.

We finally got power and water back after 17 days without it. Some restaurants have started opening back up. We're clearing fallen trees and bodies are still showing up. The media says only 200 people have died, but I know that many people died in my town alone!

My friends house (last 2 pics) washed away, so did my cousins and great aunt who is 92 years old (1st pic). They were stuck and nearly washed away with em, but luckily they found a way out and could get to land just before the houses went under. My cousins been in her house for 50 years and my great aunt for 70 years and now everything besides the clothes on their back is gone.

The weather is in the 20s and 30s and we've got kids all ages livin in tents with nowhere to go.

I lost my job and we're all in the same boat here so nobody is hiring. My kids understand Christmas isn't gonna be so great this year, but we're just grateful to have a roof over our heads.

The other day a 14 yo was found under a bridge that my kids and I had been walking on... 2 days later they found his mom there too. The damn bears are eating the bodies and we can do nothing to stop them. There are body parts scattered everywhere. It's fucking unbelievable. I'm not sure when things will get back to normal... or that they ever really will. I'm trying to stay positive, but seriously this has all got me so depressed.

I'm grateful to be here, that my family is safe, that our house is still standing and that I have such a wonderful community here to keep my head up. I truly don't know what I'd do without you guys ❤️
