InSEWmniacs

We recorded the morning after our trip to Charlotte & Charlotte Frocktails - and we'll post the video on our Patreon!

Catastrophic flooding happened Sept 27 - 28 in Western NC.  Moira & I were in Asheville & Mountain Home NC respectively.  When my husband and I fled to find electricity on Sept 29, we were welcomed by our daughter in Mountain Home.  We decided to record a brief podcast about our experiences, mostly probably just us being in shock still.  Anyway, if you're interested, check it out.  You can support us through our Patreon here.
