Camp Weed is okay. We have a lot of downed trees and debris. As of October 1st power is still off. There are several broken fences, roof damage in 2 buildings (so far). We're still assessing but can't complete it until the power is back on.

Needs: Donation for clean up

Everyone in a 300 mile radius is in the same shape we are. I'm using HC as a refugee center for people still without power/water and for people who simply need a shower. Different faces daily.... Every countty in GA (159) have reported various levels of damage... 526,000 still without power and water... many counties still have zero residents and businesses with power/water

Kanuga sustained substantial damage. Power is out, and roads in and out of Kanuga are now closed. Kanuga Lake Road is close to failure. We are currently closed for at least two weeks although I believe that time will expand. We are currently assessing repairs made necessary by wind, flooding, and downed trees. While damage is great, it is not catastrophic. That said we have significant damage to at least two cottages as well as the lake pavilion. Trees are down on several other buildings and several roofs are damaged from wind.

Needs:

Massive flooding of river and lake and therefore massive reshaping of landscape [ie. loss of the athletic field above the Alpine Tower, loss of the road to our maintenance shop (we can only walk there via a cut in trail), loss of recreation storage buildings and equipment, loss of the tennis courts and fence, a massive amount of trees down in the field and in the river and lake].

We've opened a community center in our dining hall because we have a generator. The most important thing that we've been offering is hot showers.

Banner Elk, NC

We've opened a community center in our dining hall, because we have the generator. The most important thing that we've been offering is hot showers.

UPDATE 10/01: Our generator has taken up smoking. Apparently running for five days straight will make anyone take up bad habits.

NEEDS: If anyone would like to donate a 22KW generator, we'd be happy to take it off your hands. This one is just not robust enough for the work we've given it to do.
