Western NC here.
This blows :|
Sunday morning was a hail storm. Then really high winds picked up in the afternoon. Trees crashing down. Power out all over by about 8pm
Office downtown got power about 8-9 am (coming and going still). No power at all at home (it's freakin cold).
Still have high winds (60-70 mph), trees still crashing down. Lot of rescue work and fire dept calls. Downed lines causing the fires etc. Rescue calls are for people who've had trees fall on their house etc.
Most traffice signals are out, my secretary/preparer just had to leave, husband was in car wreck because someone ran through a "dead" traffic light. She had to go to the emergency room, etc.
This blows. We're tax accountants, it's stressful enough as is trying to get clients done (file or estimate) without this BS.
I hope the IRS gives us some extra days. I've clients with big payments due stuck in airports around the country. Looks doubtful they'll get back in time to send in the extensions with checks on time, etc.
