Guilford County NC hit hard by Hurricane tropical storm Michael, Surprised by flooding and numbers of large trees falling
“You don’t miss your water until your well runs dry.”…William Bell
It is difficult to complain about the impact of Hurricane and then tropical storm Michael on Guilford County NC with the devastation of south Florida.
However, Guilford County sustained a surprising amount of impact. Especially in power outages.
From the Greensboro News Record Saturday, October 13, 2018.
“Duke Energy says customers can go to their website to get updates on power outages. For most Triad counties, there is no estimated time for when power could be restored”
“Here’s what the Duke Energy outage map is reporting as of Saturday at 9:30 a.m:
Statewide: 283,704

In my drive through a very small section of Greensboro, I was astounded at the number of large trees that had toppled.
From the Greensboro News Record October 12, 2018.
“Jennifer Hedrick’s story was years in the making.
Hedrick was in bed Thursday afternoon when she heard a tree fall. From the noise she thought it fell into a neighbor’s house. But then her 10-year-old son began to cry.
“He was looking out the window and said, ‘A tree fell on your car,’” she said.
Neighbor Cleiff Liendo records damage to a Jeep on David Caldwell Drive after Tropical Storm Michael left a trail of damage in Greensboro, N.C., on Oct. 12, 2018.

At that moment she didn’t know about the widespread devastation in her neighborhood and across the Triad. She just knew that a tree had fallen on the Jeep she started leasing three months ago.
Hedrick and her husband, Joshua, said all the people in their neighborhood along David Caldwell Drive pray that trees around their houses will not be the next to snap.”
“Before the family left town they, like many others in Greensboro, went on a search for food and coffee.
Each repair takes Duke Energy workers 1 to 3 hours to fix, but those efforts might only restore a dozen households or a few neighborhoods at a time, company spokesman Jeff Brooks said Friday afternoon.
Lines backed up at restaurants and convenience stores that were open.
Darkened traffic lights greeted drivers on major roads like Bryan Boulevard, Battleground Avenue, Elm and West Market streets.
Downed trees littered the front of Peace United Church of Christ on West Market Street. Up the road, another tree leaned against the Greensboro College Reynolds Family Student Life Center.”
