12 photos: Chimney Rock, NC completely destroyed

I-40 in North Carolina just can't get a break.

 

I hope Mayberry is okay. They didn't see that coming, what a mess. I hear with all the multi-billion dollar disasters lately, the gubment is running low on disaster funds. What a mess. 396 billion dollar disasters since 1980 and it's not over yet. 4 more hurricanes are spotted in the Gulf right now. Is Mother Nature trying to flush this toilet? I look at all the belongings piled on the curbs,,,what a mess. How do so many recover from that? Time will tell, I suppose.

 

Yep, Mayberry is fine. West of Mayberry and "Mt Pilot " is the problem.

 

Siler City, Mount Airy, Fancy Gap, Morehead City too? Psst, ( whispering) you do know that show was filmed far away from NC. The backlot of Desilu Productions, Hollywood.

 

Yes, I know.

 

Thankfully Barney Fife was leading sandbag operations

 

With one bag in his shirt pocket

 

With his cousins Virgil and Newton Munroe(Don Rickles) filling the sandbags!!!

 

Well the good news is
Now they know where not to rebuild
