This is Yancey County, NC. The pictures are from Sheriff Deputy Daniel Joyner. “Please share with the world how bad it really is.” The damage is apocalyptic. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Photo of me as people on the internet trust me with enough cash to deliver dozens of generators. Thank you all so much. Every penny will be accounted for publicly. gofundme.com/f/bypass-burea…

Today's generators: - Deborah, who was nearly swept away by the flood as her community was destroyed - Floyd, a firefighter who has been so busy taking care of others he hasn't taken care of himself - Mike, who is putting in a shared well pump for his flattened neighborhood

What's left of Poga / Elk Mills. Fire department was destroyed by a bridge that was destroyed by a house that was swept into it.

Some of the finest engineering I've ever seen - making the best solution possible with the resources available. Two flat bed trailers back to back with boards over them to provide access for ~30 people stranded after the bridge was destroyed.

Today's generators: - Nancy, whose street will likely be one of the last with power - Sanford, 77 year old living on his own in a wheelchair - A small community church who will move it house to house as power is restored so it's used effectively until everyone is reconnected

Thanks to the generosity of 300 people, we delivered over $40K of critical supplies including 30 generators & 142 heaters across 8 counties. There is still so much to do, but to these people you made a world of difference. Thank you, from me & from them.

Scott Snell wins the USA with 88 hours. "That was fun," he said. "Kinda." 9 runners remain, 3 countries. #bigsbackyard #backyardultra

.David Roche wins the 2024 Javelina Jundred with the second fastest time in race history (12:45:04) in record high temperatures on course. He's won a Golden Ticket to Western States 100, granting him automatic entry into the 2025 race!

A year later, with more tickets in both lotteries (32 for Western States 100, 3 for Hardrock Hundred), my odds are still almost the same. 😩 13% for WS 20% for HR 31% for one of the two 3% for both

That hurt more than my last 2 finishes. Significantly harder course, and warm (got up to 77F / 25C), but I also made a lot of mistakes. Actually pretty intriguing, back to no longer knowing whether it's something I can do. Will post usual report. Otherwise, till next time. #BM100
