Oh No! You are NOT going to hold that shit against me. NOBODY would have imagined the destruction and weather snafu in the south. That was the nail in the coffin

We had that happen with a CF rally a few yrs back, damn hurricaine kept a lot of people home. Amrok rode through part of it then got called back to work so that was a double loss there. We go trained on prety good heading out but that was it.

I live right in the middle of it and TVA was hard hit by that shit. It's not the end of the world down here... Everything is still functioning normally. We are getting volunteers from all around and even met two guys from Florida that I explained in the other thread that used their riding vacation to assist the people down here that lost everything. Satanist harley riders.

Well I'm not trying to go on a volunteer trip.... I'm trying to put down some miles on some great roads and not run into problems.

I'd be wanting to go there to photograph the devastation. I went to the Outer Banks in 2004 right after Hurricane Ivan came through. It was wild.

And the pics I've seen from down there are astonishing.

Neither were these guys, they were just awesome like that. Good people.

A twister came down between the dragon and the foothills parkway. The devastation and how it was isolated to the path was just amazing. I didn't get any good photos though.

It cut this huge section of trees out, came across the lake and took out a power tower in the middle of the lake. Then came up the bank by the bridge the kids are always jumping off of. The section it cut through was just utterly obliterated and just outside of it was perfectly fine.

There's a guy on this gun forum I'm on who's been posting pics. He's embedded with a search and rescue crew. His photos are unreal.
