I am just curious if the blue house right along the road in the foreground of the attached photo was destroyed. Also, It might be too soon to ask but do you think any of this will be covered by any type of insurance?

My Daughter in law got a Starlink yesterday and it’s up, and going.

Dean, l just read this story from the New York Post, does your daughter know anything about it? To me l would think it's BS but you never know. God bless NC    .....Hippy

 

Elon Musk pledged to give victims of Hurricane Helene 30 days worth of free access to his satellite-based Starlink internet service — but the billionaire failed to mention that survivors of the disastrous storm that has claimed the lives of more than 200 people will need to fork over $400 for the system’s hardware.

Starlink, a division of Musk’s rocket-building and space exploration firm SpaceX, announced on its official X page last week that its service “is now free for 30 days” for survivors of Helene who live in areas where phone and fiber cables were cut off — denying them internet access.

The post went viral, generating tens of millions of views.

Didn’t know this till lately most people around here don’t have flood insurance 

[1961H67]

Here's a different angle,yes the house  along the road was badly damaged, we are going to try to fix it, no flood insurance, and FEMA says it is not a primary residence, ( daughter in laws mom lived there) at normal creek level you can walk across the rocks and n get wet , it turned into a River! And the water had gone down 3 feet when the pic was taken. Yes we have the 30 day free starlink . Had to haul some today, everything here is mud or thick dust ,, The Super Liners are terrible dirty!

Geezus, what a mess. Glad you're OK, though. It's going to be a long recovery. Let's hope Florida doesn't take the eye off your area!!

Still sifting through mud,my Grandson dug his way into the bathroom,

we’re

still washing tools, most electric tools are trash. But My Grandson and Me took a little break and finished installing the chrome on the hood ( I had just bought a pack of new fasteners from Watts and luckily layer them in the floor with the trim, or all would have been swept away)all the little parts on a roll around table got gone, I have found some parts, but my vent windows and inside door panels are gone, hopefully I can find some L or H doors to get some parts from, it could have been much worse! 

[mowerman]

Excellent and yes, it could’ve been a lot worse….. bob

I love the Davy Crockett hat!!!!!!! Did not know you could get them???

[mowerman]

Hell, I didn’t even notice that thing I thought it was just a beanie stocking hat. Depends on where you are.

[1961H67]

lol , he had a nice real coonskin with leather inside that he wore to school in the winter for 2 years,, it was in there house and got swept away, A lady from Georgia bought him this one, the cap is Rabbit and the tail is coon ,, I think all the teachers at Fairview Elementary are going to also buy him another coonskin. Here’s the original coonskin that the flood,got. 

[mowerman]

Excellent they were pretty big and my area when I was his age but then so was Daniel Boon the TV show

[mowerman]

Not sure if this had anything to do with it, but I grew up in the most boring square town the United States not that that was a bad thing. We really never had any trouble there at all. Everybody pretty much did what they were supposed to do.

It was a much better world when people just did what they were meant to do

Or at least in my mind it was

Was only telling some yesterday how excited my sister was when we got a colour T.V.

We sure lived a good and simple life once

Coonskin hat is cool, only ever saw them on T.V. in Australia due to the distinct lack of raccoons

Didn't stop me dreaming of waking one Christmas morning and finding one under the tree

Cleaned Mud most of the day, still finding stuff,, the power of water is amazing, this E9 with transmission washed about 100 feet! Going to try to go to the Truck Show in Cherokee NC tomorrow,, get away from the devastation for a few hours. 

[mowerman]

yes  you could use that dean,,,,,take a break,,,,you and your hired hand need the change of scenery,,,, 

[Vladislav]

And that Whispering Giant in the weeds is a treasure even in the shape it is. For parts or being revised. For the best it needs heads and crank shaft caps removed before rust makes its work and some oil or grease applied.

[1961H67]

A little more progress today ( a break from Shoveling mud ) Got the right fender on, with help from a guy with a Waffle House shirt and a Skunk Skin Cap ! 

[mowerman]

Those colors really look good on that truck makes me think of a tasty dessert at the soda fountain . We don’t have too many of those anymore. It’s no wonder you’re hired hand always looks happy around it… bob

[mowerman]

Still not sure about Coca-Cola colors all I see is Howard Johnsons

[1961H67]

The North Carolina DMV says it is trying to find the records of the original owner,, Hopefully that will solve the mystery,, It’s very close to the original paint scheme,, no matter who’s it was it’s definitely different. I’m plugging away at cleaning up the shop and trying to get the fenders on before it gets too cold.My “ Sidekick has to go back to school Friday, they finally ( after 3 weeks) got power and water,, They’re places around here that won’t have power until next year sometime 

[Joey Mack]

God Bless You Guy's..

[1961H67]

Slowly getting some utility’s back,, Some of what’s left of Asheville NCs Main water supply. ,, It’s washed out miles of this from the main reservoir. 

[mowerman]

Progress baby… let’s keep it coming 

[mrsmackpaul]

Side kick won't be to impressed about this going to school business after 3 weeks of action

Still reckon that is the coolest hat I have seen in a long time 

Glad things are slowly getting back on track
