Did receive a Tornado Warning (150 mph) in the late afternoon so I sat in Bob's walk-in closet with the sliding doors shut for 30 minutes -- while my close friends (whom I telephoned) just chuckled.</div><div><br></div>

is predominately Charlotte. With all the warnings, we had a bag packed In case of tree/roof damage . Asheville is about 3 hours west of us, but its mountains and creeks and rivers were greatly impacted. Swannanoa, which was named in the news clips I saw,
is where Rob Work lives. Marshall Jones may be in Maggie Valley, near Asheville in those same mountains. Our college grandchildren near Raleigh and Burlington checked in ok. Heard from Mary Lou Vergara near Raleigh who was checking in on us.
