Indeed it was. They were posting videos of the stream next to the cabin in normal circumstances, and then with increasing ferocity over time, to the point where it was up to the cabin's deck and tons of debris was cascading down the mountain.
On a happier note, on Saturday Mrs Murphy and I will journey to the Caribbean for five company-sponsored days of mandatory sunburns and frozen rum drinks. If I can snorkel and play swimming pool volleyball, my week is complete. The weather looks stormy every damn day so I'm kinda wondering just how great this will be.

The hills of western North Carolina are completely isolated. Mrs Murphy has family that was visiting the area during the storm. They were without power or running water, fled their vacation cabin, got help from locals with fun hillbilly nicknames (true story!), and got their rental car back to Charlotte NC airport to fly home.

It blows my mind that hurricanes with female names tend to be more deadly than hurricanes with male names because people subconsciously assume storms with feminine names will be less dangerous.

Today we drove down toward the edge of the Helene destruction, as we are in southwest Virginia. It was so cool to see countless electric and tree utility trucks heading down interstate 81 from as far as Quebec, Ontario and new Brunswick. Help is on the way, eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and other soggy spots.

In other climate change news, this Helene storm will be the fastest zero-to-cat4 hurricane ever in the Gulf of Mexico. I hope the Floridians figure out how to get out of her way.

Also, climate change is wild and bad. Eight miles away there are floods due to the insane amount of rain we've had in the last 24 hours. No issues here thankfully but YIKES.

I think it's only one new song and a bunch of 60s-era songs that influenced him. A companion album to his 1967-themed memoirs book, I believe.

Quiet week. Yesterday I drove through much of the Commonwealth of Virginia on a work trip, but stopped off to see the little Murphy at college. He's been at school a month already! It was the first time I've seen him, so it was a fun dinner. He toured me around his campus he has so recently claimed as his own. I wish I had that sort of confidence back in my first month of college.

Indeed, a stroll there gives one an honorary membership to the brat pack. And it's funny how that place was the center of the DC partying scene in the 80s. Other spots emerged to challenge in the 90s like Adams Morgan and parts of Arlington. Old Town Alexandria kept a hopping bar district, too.

Yay weekend! Last night I had dinner with an old friend and bandmate, in town for a day. We had many beers and then walked across the bridge into Georgetown and back. Lots of scooters these days, even at night.
