Stormy Skies

In Western North Carolina, two years after Hurricane Helene changed everything, we are still on edge when a storm comes through the region. This weekend was no exception: south of us, Hurricane Isaias left dead in its wake, along with severe damage along its path. In this region, the damage was not as bad, but because the landscape was already so damaged after Helene, more trees and branches came down; more flash floods happened; and mostly, people were anticipating the worst. I love a good rainstorm, but not a tropical monster. So for this edition of I Scream Sunday, we’re playing music that takes us through the beginning, middle, and aftermath of storms.
