  right
• 1:02
  over
• 1:03
  where
• 1:04
  we
• 1:04
  live.
• 1:04
  We
• 1:04
  sat
• 1:04
  out
• 1:05
  on
• 1:05
  the
• 1:05
  patio
• 1:05
  and
• 1:05
  looked

  and
• 1:06
  it
• 1:06
  was
• 1:06
  calm
• 1:07
  and
• 1:08
  big
• 1:08
  blue
• 1:08
  sky
• 1:08
  in
• 1:09
  a
• 1:09
  circle
• 1:09
  and
• 1:09
  you
• 1:09
  could
• 1:09
  see
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  cloud
• 1:10
  spinning,
• 1:11
  you
• 1:12
  know,
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  direction
• 1:12
  counterclockwise,
• 1:13

  yes,
• 1:14
  we
• 1:14

• 1:15
  we
• 1:15
  got
• 1:15
  missed
• 1:15
  with
• 1:15
  a
• 1:16
  lot
• 1:16
  of
• 1:16
  that.
• 1:16
  We
• 1:16
  really
• 1:17
  didn't
• 1:17
  have
• 1:17
  a
• 1:17
  lot
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  wind
• 1:18
  damage.
• 1:19
  We
• 1:19
  didn't
• 1:19
  really
• 1:19
  have
• 1:20
  a
• 1:20
  lot
• 1:20
  of
• 1:20
  flooding
• 1:20
  damage
• 1:21
  here,
• 1:22
  but
• 1:22
  just
• 1:22
  a
• 1:22
  little
• 1:22
  bit
• 1:23
  east
• 1:23
  and
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  little
• 1:23
  bit
• 1:24
  north.
• 1:24
  Thats
• 1:25
  where
• 1:25
  a
• 1:25
  lot
• 1:25
  of
• 1:25
  the
• 1:26
  big
• 1:26
  amounts
• 1:27
  really
• 1:27
  devastated
• 1:28
  some
• 1:28
  areas.
• 1:29
  Yeah.
• 1:30
  I
• 1:30
  was
• 1:31
  watching
• 1:31
  the
• 1:32
  news
• 1:32
  over
• 1:32
  the
• 1:33
  weekend
• 1:33
  and
• 1:33
  they
• 1:33
  were
• 1:33
  saying
• 1:33
  that
• 1:34
  I
• 1:34
  guess
• 1:35
  just
• 1:35
  in
• 1:35
  western
• 1:36
  North
• 1:36
  Carolina,
• 1:36
  its
• 1:36
  an
• 1:37
  area
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  size
• 1:38
  of
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  state
• 1:38
  of
• 1:38
  Massachusetts
• 1:39
  thats
• 1:39
  really,
• 1:40
  really
• 1:40
  been
• 1:40
  leveled.
• 1:43
  Yeah,
• 1:43
  thats
• 1:43
  right.
• 1:44
  Especially
• 1:44
  with
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  lot
• 1:45
  of
• 1:45
  people
• 1:45
  that
• 1:46
  dont
• 1:46
  live
• 1:47
  in
• 1:47
  mountainous
• 1:48
  regions.
• 1:49
  I
• 1:49
  think
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  big
• 1:49
  part
• 1:50
  that
• 1:50
  people
• 1:51
  miss
• 1:51
  out
• 1:52
  on,
• 1:52
  it's
• 1:52
  not
• 1:52
  just
• 1:52
  where
• 1:53
  you
• 1:53
  had
• 1:53
  like
• 1:53
  they
• 1:54
  set
• 1:54
  up
• 1:54
  over
• 1:54
  30
• 1:55
  inches
• 1:55
  at
• 1:55
  Mount
• 1:55
  Mitchell
• 1:56
  for
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  damage
• 1:57
  that
• 1:57
  that
• 1:57
  caused,
• 1:58
  but
• 1:59
  it's
• 1:59
  more
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  landslides
• 2:00
  that
• 2:00
  happen
• 2:01
  in
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  mountains.
• 2:01
  When
• 2:01
  you
• 2:02
  have
• 2:02
  that
• 2:02
  kind
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  rainfall,
• 2:03
  you're
• 2:03
  going
• 2:03
  to
• 2:03
  have
• 2:03
  lots
• 2:03
  of
• 2:03
  slides.
• 2:04
  And
• 2:04
  we're
• 2:05
  talking
• 2:05
  a
• 2:05
  lot
• 2:05
  of
• 2:05
  places
• 2:06

  you

  come
• 2:09
  down
• 2:09
  from
• 2:09
  the
• 2:10
  mountain.
• 2:10
  And
• 2:10
  that's,
• 2:10
  that's
• 2:11
  really
• 2:11
  what
• 2:11
  does

  the

  so
• 3:38
  folks

• 3:39
  look
• 3:39
  there.
• 3:39
  And
• 3:39
  I
• 3:39
  know,
• 3:40
  Mack,
• 3:40
  you
• 3:40
  had
• 3:40
  a
• 3:40
  couple
• 3:40
  other
• 3:41
  charities
• 3:41
  you
• 3:41
  wanted
• 3:41
  to
• 3:42
  let
• 3:42
  folks
• 3:42
  know
• 3:43
  about
• 3:43
  as
• 3:43
  well.
• 3:45
  Yes.
• 3:45
  Right.
• 3:46
  We're
• 3:46
  going
• 3:46
  to
• 3:46
  send
• 3:46
  those
• 3:46
  to
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  can
• 3:47
  put
• 3:47
  them
• 3:47
  on
• 3:47
  the,
• 3:48
  on
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  post,
• 3:49
  you
• 3:49
  know,
• 3:50
  with
• 3:50
  this
• 3:50
  one
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  them,
• 3:51
  french
• 3:51
  broad
• 3:51
  River
• 3:51
  Academy
• 3:52
  is
• 3:52
  doing
• 3:52
  a
• 3:53
  lot
• 3:53
  with
• 3:54
  keeping
• 3:54
  supplies
• 3:54
  going
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  Chinook
• 3:55
  helicopters
• 3:56
  there
• 3:56
  at
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  airport
• 3:57
  in
• 3:58
  Asheville.
• 3:58
  And
• 3:58
  they're
• 3:58
  actually
• 3:59
  able
• 3:59
  to
• 3:59
  take
• 3:59
  those
• 4:00
  supplies
• 4:00
  where
• 4:01
  they're
• 4:01
  needed
• 4:01
  most
• 4:01
  because
• 4:02
  a
• 4:02
  lot
• 4:02
  of
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  places
• 4:02
  are
• 4:02
  still
• 4:03
  isolated
• 4:03
  with
• 4:04
  not
• 4:04
  been
• 4:05
  able
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  just
• 4:05
  drive
• 4:05
  in
• 4:06
  there,
• 4:06
  you
• 4:06
  know,
• 4:06
  to
• 4:06
  take
• 4:06
  it.
• 4:07
  So
• 4:08
  that's
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  big,
• 4:09
  that's
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  big
• 4:10
  one.
• 4:10
  I've
• 4:10
  had
• 4:10
  a
• 4:10
  lot
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  people
• 4:11
  ask
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  last
• 4:12
  couple
• 4:12
  of
• 4:12
  weeks,
• 4:13
  you
• 4:13
  know,
• 4:13
  where
• 4:14
  not,
• 4:14
  I
• 4:14
  keep
• 4:15
  turning
• 4:15
  them
• 4:15
  to
• 4:16
  turn
• 4:16
  them
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  articulate
• 4:17
  fly
• 4:18
  because
• 4:18
  I
• 4:18
  know
• 4:18
  you've
• 4:18
  done
• 4:18
  a
• 4:19
  good
• 4:19
  job
• 4:19
  putting
• 4:19
  up
• 4:20
  a
• 4:21
  lot
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  these
• 4:21
  places,
• 4:21
  but
• 4:21
  we'll
• 4:22
  get
• 4:22
  those
• 4:22
  to
• 4:22
  you,
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  notes.
• 4:23
  And
• 4:24
  we're
• 4:24
  also
• 4:25
  getting
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  lot
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  questions,
• 4:25
  Marvin,
• 4:26
  on
• 4:27
  people
• 4:27
  calling
• 4:27
  about,
• 4:28
  you
• 4:28
  know,
• 4:28
  this
• 4:28
  fall.
• 4:29
  And
• 4:29
  I
• 4:29
  think
• 4:29
  we'll
• 4:30
  address
• 4:30
  that,
• 4:30
  too,
• 4:31
  and
• 4:31
  just
• 4:31
  say
• 4:31
  probably
• 4:32
  indefinite,
• 4:32
  like,
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  still
• 4:33
  haven't
• 4:34
  heard
• 4:35
  specifically
• 4:36
  like,
• 4:36
  where,
• 4:37
  you
• 4:38
  know
• 4:38
  what
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  mean
• 4:38
  for
• 4:38
  like
• 4:38
  DH
• 4:39
  programs
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  all
• 4:39
  that.
• 4:40
  Pretty
• 4:40
  much
• 4:40
  what
• 4:40
  I've
• 4:41
  been
• 4:41
  telling
• 4:41
  people
• 4:41
  is
• 4:41
  I'm
• 4:42
  sure
• 4:42
  they're
• 4:42
  over
• 4:43
  because
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  water
• 4:43
  that
• 4:43
  they
• 4:44
  took
• 4:44
  up
• 4:44
  there
• 4:45
  in
• 4:45
  Brevard
• 4:46
  near
• 4:47
  where
• 4:47
  all
• 4:47
  of
• 4:47
  our
• 4:47
  fish
• 4:48
  come
• 4:48
  from
• 4:48
  for
• 4:48
  this
• 4:48
  part
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  country
• 4:50
  was
• 4:50
  actually
• 4:50
  as
• 4:51
  high
• 4:51
  as
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  higher
• 4:52
  than
• 4:52
  when
• 4:52
  they
• 4:52
  lost
• 4:53
  them
• 4:53
  all
• 4:53
  in
• 4:53
  21.
• 4:54
  So
• 4:54
  I'm
• 4:54
  sure
• 4:54
  that
• 4:55
  that's
• 4:56
  probably
• 4:56
  going
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  be
• 4:56
  on
• 4:56
  delay
• 4:57
  for
• 4:57
  a
• 4:57
  while.
• 4:58
  Yeah.
• 4:59
  You
• 4:59
  know,
• 4:59
  the,
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  word
• 5:00
  from,
• 5:01
  uh,
• 5:01
  in,
• 5:01
  at
• 5:01
  least
• 5:01
  from
• 5:02
  North
• 5:02
  Carolina,
• 5:02
  from
• 5:02
  the
• 5:03
  fish
• 5:03
  and
• 5:03
  game
• 5:03
  people,
• 5:03
  is
• 5:04
  that
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  DH
• 5:05
  stock
• 5:05
  stockings
• 5:06
  have
• 5:06
  been
• 5:06
  paused
• 5:06
  indefinitely.
• 5:07
  And
• 5:07
  remember,
• 5:08
  too,
• 5:08
  folks,
• 5:08
  that
• 5:09
  they
• 5:09
  were
• 5:10
  already
• 5:10
  slated
• 5:10
  to
• 5:11
  basically
• 5:12
  renovate
• 5:12
  that
• 5:12
  Armstrong
• 5:13
  fishery
• 5:14
  up
• 5:14
  there
• 5:15
  on
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  Davidson
• 5:15
  river,
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  we
• 5:16
  were
• 5:16
  going
• 5:16
  to
• 5:16
  have
• 5:17
  diminished
• 5:18
  stockings
• 5:18
  for
• 5:19
  the
• 5:19
  next
• 5:19
  several
• 5:19
  years
• 5:20
  anyway.
• 5:21
  But
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  good
• 5:22
  news
• 5:22
  is,
• 5:23
  even
• 5:23
  though
• 5:24
  that's
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  case,
• 5:26
  if
• 5:26
  people
• 5:26
  are
• 5:26
  willing
• 5:27
  to
• 5:27
  hike
• 5:27
  into
• 5:28
  wild
• 5:28
  places
• 5:28
  and
• 5:29
  go
• 5:29
  up
• 5:29
  high
• 5:29
  where
• 5:29
  there
• 5:29
  wasn't
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  lot
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  water,
• 5:32
  you
• 5:32
  know,
• 5:32
  there's
• 5:32
  still
• 5:33
  opportunities
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  catch
• 5:33
  fish
• 5:34
  if
• 5:34
  they
• 5:34
  want
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  get
• 5:34
  out
• 5:34
  and,
• 5:35
  you
• 5:35
  know,
• 5:36
  catch
• 5:36
  a
• 5:36
  few
• 5:36
  trout
• 5:36
  this
• 5:37
  fall.
• 5:38
  That's
• 5:39
  right.
• 5:39
  That's
• 5:39
  what,
• 5:39
  that's
• 5:40
  what
• 5:40
  we're
• 5:40
  doing
• 5:41
  pretty
• 5:41
  much
• 5:42
  still.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:42
  we
• 5:42
  had
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  lot
• 5:43
  of
• 5:43
  cancellations,
• 5:43
  of
• 5:43
  course,
• 5:44
  because
• 5:44
  a
• 5:44
  lot
• 5:44
  of
• 5:45
  places
• 5:46
  made
• 5:46
  it
• 5:46
  hard
• 5:46
  to
• 5:46
  get
• 5:47
  here
• 5:47
  with
• 5:47
  a
• 5:47
  lot
• 5:47
  of
• 5:47
  the
• 5:48
  different
• 5:48
  closures
• 5:48
  of
• 5:49
  roads.
• 5:49
  But
• 5:49
  a
• 5:49
  lot
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  entries
• 5:50
  into
• 5:51
  this
• 5:51
  area,
• 5:52
  mainly
• 5:52
  out
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  south
• 5:53
  and
• 5:54
  129,
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  national
• 5:55
  park
• 5:55
  road,
• 5:56
  still
• 5:56
  open,
• 5:57
  you
• 5:58
  know,
• 5:58
  so
• 5:58
  they
• 5:59
  can
• 5:59
  still
• 5:59
  come
• 5:59
  in
• 5:59
  from
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  lot
• 6:00
  of
• 6:00
  areas,
• 6:00
  but
• 6:00
  there's
• 6:00
  still
• 6:00
  a
• 6:01
  lot
• 6:01
  of
• 6:01
  road
• 6:01
  closures
• 6:02
  up
• 6:03
  there.
• 6:03
  Upper
• 6:04
  East
• 6:05
  Tennessee
• 6:05
  and
• 6:05
  up
• 6:05
  just
• 6:06
  north
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  me,
• 6:06
  there's
• 6:07
  still
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  lot
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  road
• 6:07
  closures.
• 6:08
  I
• 6:08
  mean,
• 6:08
  big,
• 6:09
  big,
• 6:09
  major
• 6:10
  highways,
• 6:10
  you
• 6:10
  know,
• 6:10
  closed,
• 6:11
  like
• 6:11
  40
• 6:11
  and
• 6:12
  26
• 6:13
  down
• 6:13
  there
• 6:13
  by
• 6:14
  those
• 6:14
  are
• 6:14
  going
• 6:14
  to
• 6:14
  take
• 6:15
  years
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  rebuild.
• 6:16
  I
• 6:16
  mean,
• 6:16
  that's
• 6:16
  not
• 6:16
  going
• 6:16
  to
• 6:17
  happen
• 6:17
  anytime
• 6:17
  soon
• 6:18
  for
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  lot
• 6:18
  of
• 6:18
  this
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  get
• 6:18
  back
• 6:19
  to
• 6:20
  having
• 6:21
  those
• 6:21
  pathways
• 6:21
  opened
• 6:22
  up,
• 6:22
  you
• 6:22
  know?
• 6:23
  Yeah.
• 6:23
  And
• 6:23
  I
• 6:24
  believe,
• 6:24
  folks,
• 6:24
  if
• 6:24
  you
• 6:24
  go
• 6:24
  to
• 6:25
  NCDrive
• 6:25
  dot
• 6:26
  gov,
• 6:26
  I
• 6:26
  think
• 6:26
  that's
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  site,
• 6:28
  that's
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  North
• 6:28
  Carolina
• 6:29
  Department
• 6:29
  of
• 6:30
  Transportation.
• 6:31
  That's
• 6:31
  kind
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  latest
• 6:32
  status
• 6:32
  on
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  various
• 6:33
  road
• 6:33
  issues,
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  that's
• 6:33
  a
• 6:34
  good
• 6:34
  place
• 6:34
  to
• 6:34
  go
• 6:34
  to
• 6:34
  get
• 6:34
  up
• 6:34
  to
• 6:35
  date
• 6:35
  information.
• 6:35
  And
• 6:36
  another
• 6:36
  thing
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  would
• 6:37
  really
• 6:37
  suggest
• 6:38
  is
• 6:39
  tourism
• 6:39
  is
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  huge
• 6:40
  part
• 6:40
  of
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  commerce
• 6:41
  in
• 6:42
  western
• 6:42
  North
• 6:43
  Carolina,
• 6:43
  east
• 6:43
  Tennessee,
• 6:43
  and
• 6:44
  southwest
• 6:44
  Virginia.
• 6:45
  So
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  the
• 6:46
  extent
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  can
• 6:47
  get
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  these
• 6:47
  places
• 6:47
  and
• 6:48
  they're
• 6:48
  open
• 6:48
  for
• 6:48
  business,
• 6:48
  I
• 6:49
  would
• 6:49
  encourage
• 6:49
  you
• 6:49
  to
• 6:50
  try
• 6:50
  to
• 6:50
  get
• 6:50
  over
• 6:51
  there
• 6:51
  and
• 6:51
  support
• 6:51
  them.
• 6:51
  But
• 6:52
  also,
• 6:52

• 7:19
  I

  mean,
• 7:19
  I
• 7:19
  was
• 7:19
  lucky
• 7:20
  with
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  up
• 7:20
  in
• 7:21
  Michigan.
• 7:21
  We
• 7:22
  had
• 7:23
  several
• 7:23
  dozen
• 7:24
  that,
• 7:24
  that
• 7:25
  put
• 7:25
  it
• 7:25
  out
• 7:25
  to
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  25,
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  know,
• 7:27
  which
• 7:28
  was
• 7:28
  nice
• 7:28
  of
• 7:28
  them
• 7:29
  to
• 7:29
  do.
• 7:30
  Not
• 7:30
  any
• 7:30
  of
• 7:30
  them
• 7:31
  tried
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  do

  it.
• 7:32
  All
• 7:32
  right.
• 7:32
  Then,
• 7:33
  you

  25.
• 7:35
  But
• 7:35
  that
• 7:35
  is,
• 7:36
  that's
• 7:36
  really
• 7:36
  good,
• 7:36
  good
• 7:37
  advice
• 7:37
  because
• 7:37
  I
• 7:37
  think
• 7:38
  that's
• 7:38
  going
• 7:38
  to
• 7:38
  be,
• 7:39
  I'm
• 7:40
  sure
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  fall,
• 7:40
  just
• 7:41
  looking
• 7:41
  at
• 7:41
  town,
• 7:42
  you
• 7:42
  know,
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  fall
• 7:43
  leaves
• 7:43
  and
• 7:43
  all
• 7:43
  is
• 7:43
  starting
• 7:44
  to
• 7:44
  turn
• 7:44
  and,
• 7:45
  but
• 7:45
  it's
• 7:45
  going
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  be,
• 7:46
  it's,
• 7:46
  it's

  off.

  Not

  to
• 7:50
  hike
• 7:50
  and
• 7:51
  look
• 7:51
  at
• 7:51
  leaves.
• 7:52
  I

  the
• 9:03
  first
• 9:03

  the
• 9:04
  fly
• 9:04
  fishing
• 9:04
  show,
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  then
• 9:06
  we're
• 9:06
  doing
• 9:06
  all
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  those
• 9:07
  on
• 9:07
  their,
• 9:07
  on
• 9:08
  their

  website.
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  mean,
• 9:09
  it'll
• 9:09
  have
• 9:09
  the
• 9:09
  schedules
• 9:10
  and
• 9:10
  there'll
• 9:10
  be
• 9:10
  classes
• 9:11
  on
• 9:11
  the
• 9:11
  road.
• 9:12
  And
• 9:12
  we'll
• 9:12
  do
• 9:12
  all
• 9:12
  those
• 9:13
  except
• 9:13
  for
• 9:13
  Lancaster,
• 9:14
  is
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  there's
• 9:15
  a
• 9:15
  school
• 9:15
  going
• 9:16
  on
• 9:16
  here.
• 9:16
  Then
• 9:16
  I
• 9:16
  couldn't
• 9:17
  had
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  conflict.
• 9:17
  But
• 9:18
  that
• 9:19
  one,
• 9:19
  I'm
• 9:19
  going
• 9:19
  to
• 9:20
  start
• 9:20
  off,
• 9:20
  actually,
• 9:21
  I've
• 9:21
  got
• 9:21
  one
• 9:21
  still
• 9:21
  coming
• 9:22
  up
• 9:23
  in
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  White
• 9:23
  river,
• 9:23
  which
• 9:24
  will
• 9:24
  be
• 9:24
  fun.
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  think
• 9:25
  that's
• 9:26

• 9:27
  8
• 9:27
  9th
• 9:27
  weekend

  That's
• 9:29
  going
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  be
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  fun,
• 9:30
  really
• 9:31
  fun
• 9:31
  event.
• 9:31
  And
• 9:31
  then
• 9:32
  the
• 9:33
  one
• 9:33
  up
• 9:33
  in
• 9:33
  St.
• 9:34

• 9:38
  one's
• 9:38
  in
• 9:39
  third
• 9:39
  week
• 9:39
  of
• 9:39
  March.
• 9:41

• 9:42
  pretty
• 9:42
  much
• 9:43
