Reflecting...

 

...on how lucky we are to have been spared. So many humans and pets have been affected by Helene this past week, and our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones and those who are still unaccounted for, with special hopes, purrs, and prayers for those lives impacted in Asheville and all over western North Carolina. Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, where mom and dad found me, is only a short walk from the Swannanoa River, and we can only hope the wonderful, dedicated staff there has been able to safely evacuate all of the furry residents and themselves to safety. The devastation left behind by this storm is beyond words, and we know there are none to put in a blog post that'll make anything better.

It is devastating what this hurricane has done to the southern states. For me it has brought a slight relief from a horrible drought that we have had since August 1st. But at the loss of lives it is certainly not worth it.

We are so relieved that you are safe.

I hope and pray for lots of help getting to all the vulnerable affected, all sentient creatures, and quickly too.

Yes Smudge you are correct no words.
I cannot imagine our beautiful mountains with all this devastation.
Our friend's we visit in Yadkin Co son and family live in Hendersonville. They are on their way to stay with our friends indefinitely. Home ok but no power and no time frame.
I too hope your Brother Wolf Animal Rescue furries and staff are safe

I am glad you and your family are safe, but sad for all those badly affected by Helene.
