Not us here in Indy, mind you. We got a little wind and rain. Some branches were down here and there. Power flickered only long enough to set the microwave clock to blinking. Other than that, it was pretty much a wet firecracker here.

Asheville, North Carolina on the other hand... yikes.

I remember when a good-size rock closed I-40 west of Asheville, and also when the southbound lanes of I-75 slid off the mountaintop between Knoxville and the Kentucky border, and how much that snarled traffic. I can't imagine what it's going to do to a decent-sized city like Asheville to have all interstate access whatsoever temporarily cut off.
