Yesterday was the 81st anniversary of the floods that hit western NC and ended train service to Boone.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Freshman year 2002 I rented a parking space in the old Scotchman motel on 321 - a heavy flood had my Camaro under water up to the bottom of the window sill. It pushed 3 or 4 cars together causing some moderate damage. Luckily my car was about #8 in line so they didn't get pushed that far. But it took me hours of vacuuming and baking soda to get the smell out.
