A bridge near her is out and most of the roads were closed due to landslides. She has no power and spotty internet/cell service. The club near her has a generator but will run out of propane tonight or tomorrow. They cleared the roads so that single lanes can get through. It took her 4 hours to go 20 miles but she is now in a part of North Carolina with fairly open roads and power. She has a second home that has power that she is headed to. It was nice to talk to her.
