we've gotten power and water back now...still under a boil advisory, but at least we don't have to pee or take a crap in the yard anymore.
unbelievable the devastation that has occurred...houses in my n'hood, next to ft jackson, are completely destroyed...if you've seen pics of kings grant, that's where we live...the semms dam broke in ft jackson and water as high as 8 feet infiltrated homes...a buddy of mine and his family had to float out on furniture at 5am sunday morning.
we were incredibly lucky simply because we live on a hill...but we have sinkholes right outside our n'hood and around town that prevents trips to get things.
i went out and bought supplies today for residences here that i could get to...i know three families that lost everything, i can't even imagine.
being back on the board is therapeutic for me...i'm getting ready to watch the game again, and that horrible spot from the refs.
hope anyone else from thi that lives or has family here is okay.
and thanks for the shoutout @TarHeelNation11

if anyone has any connections to a storage company that can house items being sent in, it would be awesome.
i'm coordinating the entire elementary school relief effort and i'm getting word that we have been sponsored by three other sc schools filling up trucks, ready to send next week.
guys, what i've seen, and delivered to the last two days has broken me...went to an apt community today where we had three students that were registered living in...we get there and the water line is up past their unit, second floor...i yell up the last name, nothing...i yell again, a kid comes out smiling...my wife yells, "hey, i know you...you're in zander's class"...this kid is in my son's 4th grade class and he lost everything...he was there though, helping his family carry out whatever was salvageable...i immediately started crying, i mean damn...we live less than three miles from this kid.
anyway, just wanted to say this...i feel better...thanks tar heel illustrated.

Thanks for the updates. I'm sure it helps in some small way to at least express the crap you are seeing and dealing with. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with everyone there. We had a huge flood here two years back and I remember how devastating it was and that doesn't even compare to what your area is dealing with. Glad you are ok and I think it is awesome the work you are doing to help, as tough as it probably is.
Thanks for the updates gtee and props for doing what you can to help your community! I pray things return to 'normal' there as soon as possible.
in line for a tetanus shot...i'm trying to see which line is longer between us and water.
Hey GTee . . . I'm sorry for the situation that you find yourself and family in.
Hoping and wishing for the best for ya. Hang in there, man . .
