After Helene decimated his farm in North Carolina, and he dug his way to the main road using a farm excavator, James Waters found roads clogged. He helped clear roads and hauled an 8,000-watt generator up to a darkened general store in Red Hill. The store, run by Kacie Smith, 28, and her father, lost more than $6,000 worth of stock and the gas pumps didn't work. Waters sees a silver lining - some people who rarely speak are helping one another, and his kids are learning about life without the internet."My son got to go out and learn about helping the neighbors. He’s like, 'Where are we going?' We’re going to check on the neighbors. That’s what we do. These are good lessons."
