Cause so much Detrriction and loss of Lives.

I'm reading everything I can on Hurricane Helene. My sister and her NC family live in Asheville.

They are Lucky.. they weathered the Storm and then a few days ago they found the one road out of NC to South Carolina. My sister had just had surgery before it Hit and was running out of much needed Meds.

They were able to escape and make it to New London, Connecticut where she has a Summer home. Took 2 days to get in touch with her Dr in Ashville so she could get her prescription filled there.

Mahalo for the Gift!
