Becky, I am so glad that you are safe. You are so right about living in a prepared way! I love the radio so I was glad to hear that it was able to help people. My sister lives in a retirement village and they lost power but have a generator. My niece had two trees fall on her house but she was not hurt.

You are so right, Becky, it takes years to recover from something as big as what hit Asheville. Ask the citizens of Japan who lived through the tsunami, life it still not back to what it was and, of course, the dead will always be missed.

Please try to stay safe!
Hugs, Trish
