Bakerville, NC. Lots of flooding, but they had very early warning from the NWS to clear out, so that might have saved folks (TBD, they were still cut off from most comms). #Bakerville #NCwx #Helene #NCSTRONG
Ham radio operator in Mitchell County near Bakerville - asking if anyone can make some outbound phone calls for people in the shelter. So sounds like they're able to get out now. K4CF Dan Hopson from Bakerville is manning the radio, first contact out of Bakerville I have heard. #MitchellCounty #Bakerville #NC #NCSTRONG #NCwx
