Update from the Swannanoa River
by Kevin Jones
We have a bed and a roof and propane heat in an airbnb on the farm that was not flooded. And a neighbor with a solar generator and a well so we have water.
Ed. note: Kevin lives along the Swannanoa River in western North Carolina, which experienced devastating flooding in connection with Hurricane Helene. Here's one of a number of news articles that gives a glimpse of the aftermath: Asheville floods force residents to scavenge for water, food. I also recommend “This is our Sandy” by Susan Crawford, which reflects on the precipitation over North Carolina, and our “ferociously accelerating climate change.”
