This experience has been no joke, and with apparently another one barreling down on the same region, it's just going to get worse. I came off a bit snarky and I apologize, as we both share a similar opinion and are saying it different I think.

As for my industry, we are resilient but this is on another scale. Chimney Rock, New Belgian, Hi-Wire, Hillman, New Origin, Wedge, River Arts. All wiped from the map. Others were flooded but still standing like Black Mountain Brewing who is handing out water and limited supplies.

No worries, AOB I'm frustrated and probably stick my head too deep into the subject. I apologize as well, I could blame it on being deep into a 12-pack of Sweetwater IPA but thats not fair to the beer the feeling was there long before I cracked open the first one

Im not political as much as I enjoy political history and all the drama and theater and...

I love following Hurricanes #1 because of my southeastern roots and since HUGO and ANDREW Ive been acutely aware of how long-lasting the damage is or was throughout our home territory. Was watching Helene when it was in the southern Gulf and we had to cross our fingers and hope it didn't hit populated areas, and was fast-moving, and didn't have soaking rains and floods. As we always do hell Georgia has been hit hard with just tropical storms and floods a lot over the years, and yeah most times it hits our business hard too. 

Ironically I checked my Facebook and heard one family we were concerned about in Ashville is OK they have been without power for nine days and have been doing nothing but using the chainsaws and clearing mud in the neighborhood for themselves and others, they do atleast have a generator, and enough gas, not everybody does. They know Duke Power is busting thier azzes the get the power back online. Thier business was flooded pretty much sounds like a total loss. Not sure if they have flood insurance, and it's a concern for lots of people. As one couple said we have insurance but the policy changed so many times they have to search who it was ` all their records are gone 

Thanks for listening to my thoughts in the end as far as the politics we will know in less than 30 days by the votes in the counties in each state that were affected. I hope everybody is satisfied, content, and well taken care of.
