Wow.

That's the worst stretch of road I've ever driven on.

Yeah it's really not enjoyable. 

 

This is the route to my daughter’s school. I’ve driven it about 5 times in the past 2 months. It’s really not that bad of a drive through there. The new route that I have to take adds over an hour to the drive, assuming that hasn’t been compromised.

There are multiple roads (and towns) wiped out in western NC. Asheville is not accessible, and they have no power, cell service, or radio. Chimney Rock is essentially gone. People are stranded on mountains as the access roads were washed out. If you were in a low lying area, your place was likely destroyed by flood or landslides. If you were up in the mountains, your way out was destroyed. It’s really bad.

I used to love taking 1-40 it will be forever for them to fix that.
