My daughter-in-law is in Fayetteville. She just texted that there is a city-wide blackout. My son is on manuevers or whatever. She’s going over to a friend’s house for tonight. Hopefully things will look better in the AM.
OH my. Glad your daughter-in-law is ok and can go to her friends especially since the hubby is away. Salute to your son by the way. We’re proud of him. 8D
Here is the link to the morning paper.

It went by hitting the subdivisions along the southern edge of Ft Bragg - Lagrange, Summerhill, Cottonade, then over to Bonnie Doone, Eurika Springs and then over to Ramsey St.
The wife was dropping off one of the kids friends in King’s Grant when it hit. They were about 1/4 mile - maybe from the tornado and a tree was knocked over in the yard as they were pulling out of the driveway. They turned south on Ramsey and didn’t know what a close call they had until we started listening to the scanner.
We never lost power but it blinked a few times. Time Warner went out though as soon as the tornado hit. Lost phone, cable and internet until just a bit ago.
