Hope someone can help.
PLEASE READ - HELP IS NEEDED
This is a post I never imagined writing in all
of my life.
**the Airbnb address is 31 Eagle Park Circle in Banner Elk
We are now in desperate need of the help and I hope someone can.
Does anyone have any leads or information to private aviation - specifically helicopters. I need to get my family, dogs included, off this mountain.
My family - my husband and I, our 4 year old son and 2 doodle dogs - are in Eagles Nest, in Banner Elk, NC. We are in an Airbnb by the Sportmans Lodge and up towards winery. There are also 2 helipads here. We are trapped with no way out - even if they clear the 6 miles to the main gate. It has been confirmed that Banner Elk is now only accessible by air.
We are without power, internet, limited cell service and no water since Friday morning. We have only a day or two of food left - the most stressful thing of all with a 4 year old.
This storm was the most terrifying thing I have ever been through in my life - 60+ mph winds for hours, the house shaking, and flood/tornado alerts throughout the night.
Please - if you have any leads, text my cell phone 408-309-1363 or email [email protected]
Thank you and please keep Western NC in your thoughts, prayers, etc. This area is devastated.
If you can’t help, please share for visibility into your network.
