Wicked Weather

It has been a busy week on the mountain!  Our dock was completed over the weekend - our installer, Judd showed up on Easter Sunday with his assistants to finish up - above and beyond in our opinion! The finished product is great! On Tuesday, Salvatore, and local realtor, Marty, successfully closed a sale for Salvatore's Cowan Town Road listing.  On the same day, Susan drove to Henderson, NC to look at a boat which also proved to be a successful venture.  The 2002 Moomba Mobius found its new home at our brand new dock by Tuesday evening.  A long, but productive day on many fronts. 

On Wednesday, Salvatore showed properties to a client all day and returned home around 7pm only to discover, that wicked weather was heading our way.  We, along with most other folks in the area, found ourselves glued to the television screen as the regular programming was interrupted by our local news anchors.  The forecast predicted golf ball sized hail and the likelihood of tornados!  Tornados in the mountains! A rare, but very real event was unfolding before our eyes.  The tornado watch did indeed turn into a warning and we, along with the three dogs hunkered down in our small downstairs "extra" bedroom which has no windows. We gathered up flashlights, batteries...and of course a couple of bottles of red wine.... Of course by this time it was late and as the clock ticked past midnight...well, the wine never was opened. We are happy to report that our properties were spared -  No damage to report.  We feel blessed. Other people were not as fortunate--lives were lost and properties destroyed. Our hearts go out to those who suffered the wrath of the storm.

Well, after damage assessment was complete on the home front, it was time to return to work and Salvatore spent Thursday and Friday showing properties. The season promises to be a busy one...more people are discovering the beauty of Watauga Lake...
