Let this be the last Asheville post for a while.
We all know what’s happening. I’m an Asheville resident. I evacuated by miracle last night and made it out. The destruction is unimaginable and the grief is beyond comprehension.
I really appreciate all the well wishes and help we’ve received. That being said, I’ve seen a lot of posts here, some of them being nasty. I’ve seen people criticizing people for not evacuating, criticizing people for choosing to stay in AVL following the rebuild, and more. Remember, leaving is a privilege and no one thought it’d be this bad
I’ve also seen a lot of “should I still move/visit”. We don’t know. Please save the negativity and personal questions for a time with more information and less stricken by grief. No one has any answers beyond speculation
Asheville is cut off. No power, water, internet, etc. We will not have word on anything for about another week or so as far as the extent of the recovery efforts.
For any of my Asheville people, please stay safe. The storm has taken its toll, but it has not taken our community. For those saying Asheville won’t recover, know that you’re wrong. I was in NOLA for the Katrina recovery, Baton Rouge for the 2016 flood recovery, and I’ve never been more confident in a city and community to bounce back.
