I live in the area. If she can get to 240, or 25, she can get to 26, to South Carolina and then to Georgia. 25 is also now open to Greenville, but slower. Just heard that on local radio.
Also heard and know more temporary towers going up, hearing from folks who haven't been able to even text.

This is the first time I've been on line since Friday morning!

I just drove to Greenville late today on 26 to pick up my adopted nephew, who made his way there this morning to rent a car. He lives in Swannanoa which was hit harder due to flooding of the Swannanoa river, which surged down his street and submerged all the houses except his because it's on a hill. I was worried his house would slide down the hill but it didn't. His wife is 5 months pregnant. He arranged a car and hotel room for tomorrow for 2 weeks, thought he'd drive home in it to pick family up but couldn't get one today.

The drive was easy, and i got gas while i was there, lines not as long as here.
I'm staying put, helping where i can. I expect to be back to work on Tuesday.
I hope she's able to get to Georgia. Fleeing a disaster zone is a good idea!
