we have been invited to the high school gym in the city where there are 200 people sleeping on the cots and despite the heartbreaking scene, they their themselves lucky. many have been confirmed dead in the state of north carolina. they have food and shelter and warm and dry place to stay. however, many residents, including the ones in the shelters, electricity is still badly needed and would go a long way since they are left in the dark. many residents got caught off guard. they expected after the storm swept through the area that things would get back to normal. that is where the nearly river forced the folks to seek shelter. now, john and christine, many people waiting to see when lives will get back on track.
