Hope your friends and property are ok.

Lost a very good friend right at the beginning of the event....
20' wall of mud, rocks, trees and water went right through his house.
Quite a few others are probably homeless, won't know until it's safe to walk back into town.
Currently all roads in and out are washed away, and most people are holed up in the elementary school.
The town is cut in half by the creek, and both bridges are gone.
Will likely be weeks before they get power back.
They began airlifting people out today...
My property is up fairly high on the end of a ridge line, so aside from some erosion and probably no more road to it, the dirt should still be right where I left it...
