HURRICANE HELLENE Dear friends we have communicated little during this devastating time for Black Mountain and the entire Asheville region. One our power, internet, cell phones and roads to much of our region has been literally destroyed by flooding. Also, lamentable has been our inability to communicate with the outside communities and with each other. It has been devastating to properties and lives. Our beautiful mountains has as it were a drape of death as we grieve the deaths of people we know and those we don't know but the impact is the same. We weep with each other. Each day surfaces more tragedies and deaths of connections with people we know. We are stunned in silence as we hear each heart-wrenching story.
