In Black Mountain, the modern ways of communicating aren't working after Hurricane Helene. So town leaders are getting information out with a method that's been around for centuries.
This is a poignant yet at the same time optimistic story about human adaptation when technology fails. This may become a new field of study. Einstein once said that the third world war would be fought with sticks and stones. Reverting to pre-electricity tools in the aftermath of Helene at the Black Mountain Town meeting is a story to remember and thanks to the NC Rabbit Hole for capturing this moment.
