The two flashlights I was using this weekend was a spotlight by Yierblue. It can be found on Amazon and Walmart. The floodlight was the Braun 7000 handheld from Harbor Freight.

I want to thank everyone for all the positive thoughts and prayers seeing that my sewer issue is fixed. I think I got it all figured out. I'm lucky in the fact that when life tries to kick me down a peg or tow I at least land on my feet. I have always been one of those guys who can usually find a solution to the problem, and if that doesn't work, I keep going until I figure it out. I know there's people who show up in my comments saying how nice it must have a lot of money. As most of you guys know I'm a state employee and I make 24.50 an hour. I'm definitely not swimming in cash, but I know how to live within my means. I appreciate everyone who asked me to start a donation page. I'm humbled by how many people want to help me out. But the truth is there are so many people suffering with real world issues right now. I had a viewer send me an email talking about the issues that North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, and Virginia are having right now. I have been seeing little things about flooded roads, but she made me aware that many people have lost friends and family members to the floods. Those are the people who need help. I am shocked that I have not been hearing more about this. It's sad how many lives have been lost, homes swept any, and entire towns turned into rubble. How is this news not all over media? I'm going to share the viewer's email. These are the folks that need a hand right now.

I'm sending you this because I know you have a large following of campers who may be planning to visit NC, SC, Eastern TN, Northern GA and the Atlanta area as well as some areas in Kentucky and Southwestern VA. Western North Carolina is closed. There is no access in or out at this time. I-40 washed down the mountain at the TN-NC state line and will not be repaired in the foreseeable future. Anyone who may have friends or family that were camping, hiking or water rafting in the areas of Pisgah National Forest, Nantahala National Forest, GSMNP or along the Appalachian Trail can try to reach out to the local district offices of the NFS but cell phone service is spotty at best and the major carriers do not have a timeline as to when they may be able to repair as much of the area remains underwater. If anyone had persons visiting Great Smoky Mountains NP, it does not appear there was catastrophic damage to the park or to Gatlinburg but again, cell phone service in much of the area is down. Local law enforcement is asking people to save contacting them for missing persons as a last resort...they are completely overwhelmed and on top of that, two county sheriff's offices lost deputies in the flooding this weekend. Chimney Rock, NC no longer exists...it washed away Saturday morning. Most of Lake Lure, NC is devastated so anyone planning visits to those areas or to our state park at Chimney Rock, please regroup and go elsewhere. Most of our mountain and foothills cities and towns suffered significant damage. If anyone had someone hiking the AT, you can reach out to the AT headquarters in Harpers Ferry, VA but please be aware, no one has been allowed into the area since last Friday so they may have very limited information. I'm pretty sure you have followers who were planning a fall trip for our leaf season. We won't be having one. You may have had followers who were planning a trip to Biltmore House in Asheville, NC...Biltmore Forest and the surrounding village are underwater at this time. There is no information about the home itself at this time but they are closed for now. I'm sending you this and would love for you to repost for your followers...we would appreciate your prayers and, if you are able, donations to the many organizations who are already on the ground but the state asks that you not come to this area until the all clear has been given by law enforcement and state officials...and this may be several weeks to months down the road.

Thank you for taking the time to check out the massage and Toby and I will see you again real soon.

Kenny
