@WarnerCrocker THANKS for alerting people to this calamity.

My brother in western NC is a ham radio operator. He and colleagues are the ONLY means of communication for thousands of people stranded by Helene. They can't call out of the region or even check on family and friends nearby. Cell service gone, internet and e-mail out, landlines gone, power water and sewer systems down, roadways washed out including interstate highways. Govt says "All highways are closed."

Please help, people!
