Just want to hop on here to say I’m okay and my home in Swannanoa was spared. Words can’t describe the heartbreak we’re feeling in WNC. Thanks for all those who checked in on me.

Congratulations to every single reporter at the @statesman who worked tirelessly to tell this horrific story.
I’ll be that person and remind @Gannett the reporters in this newsroom still don’t have a contract or living wages. Thx. – at Austin, TX
