I happen to follow several families on YouTube who farm in western North Carolina and South Carolina. Fortunately, most of them have sustained minimal damage with the exception of the Justin Rhodes family, who are in the mountains near Asheville on Justin’s heritage family farm. These people are ‘homesteaders’ who were prepared with water, food, fuel, generators etc., but only so much can be done to prepare for a storm of this magnitude. Now is the time for us to help, not second guess or judge.
Justin’s latest report:
Rhodes Hurricane update: We’re ok but the lower farm is destroyed. Lost bees, turkeys, high tunnel, lower pasture, lower gardens, the bridge etc… came within feet of the house. There will be no power for weeks. Video posting will be delayed. Roads are closed but we have our generator with lots of fuel. Grandma and grandpa are safe and we will be able to access them by vehicle soon.
