or maybe, they did cut the fallen branches to carry and pile them easily ๐Ÿคท

Was there other clear damage? We still have some damage from a hurricane in July around here, and it was really quite bad until about a month ago.

The restaurant we ate at has no potable water. Disposable silverware and paper plates. Boiled water to wash hands in the bathroom. LOTS of chopped up trees along the roads. In the river areas there's mud everywhere. C

They still only have potable water in portions of their municipal water lines. The amount of damage to their municipal water system was pretty crazy.

I'm not OP and I haven't been there since before Helene so I don't have first hand updates.
