If you're curious what else was going on in Asheville when we all lost access to the outside world, please see this stick holding up a powerline at the entrance of a neighborhood. You must drive under the Death Prevention Stick to escape your home

#yes I said something #Asheville #Hurricane Helene #that stick is an official valued member of the neighborhood and shall be honored when this is over #half of me is trying to not dox myself but also please fucking donate to Asheville charities #I'm one of the lucky ones who prepared more than the average person for a storm we didn't think could possibly be this bad #we're in the fucking moutains! hurricanes shouldn't be able to reach us!!!#and extremely lucky that I have family able to house me indefinitely and they were accessible by the one highway we got open #everyone else still in the area is still dealing with sporadic texts only as a means to communicate so more pictures like these #are probably going to come out as we all slowly get access again #hopefully they get cell service working consistently again at least even if no internet #don't clown on our stick #whoever put it there risked down powerlines so that we could get out of the neighborhood #and whittled the end that's stuck in the road so it's secure #would have taken more pictures except #ya know #all the down powerlines #other entrance to the neighborhood is a twisty little moutain road that is now covered by trees #and it goes down the hill to a road next to a stream #that stream did not stay a stream #there was no road there #so yes our good buddy Death Prevention Stick let us get out so we could go find cell service and let friends/family know we were safe Friday
