Second Ice Storm
2/6/2010 - 12:13
by Michele Frankl
On Friday, February 5, 2010, the Farm was hit with another ice storm. While the damage is not at the level of the Christmas ice storm, we are again in need of assistance of people with chain saws. If you are able to help, please call Nancy at 828-669-1818. The Farm is currently without power, so she is not able to respond to any emails. Thank you for your help!
Update: February 8th:
Power was restored to the Farm on Sunday. The driveway has a lot of debris in it that still needs to be cleared. Some of the pens have debris in them, but none were seriously damaged. Colby and Princess's pen took the worst hit, but they (and all the other woofers) are fine. They'll be happier when things stop falling, though, and so will we!

Ice Storm Aftermath

Full Moon Farm was hit hard by an ice storm that started Christmas Eve and continued through Christmas morning. To give you some idea of the damage, please look at the photos Sharon took on Saturday. (These are public Facebook photos; you do not need an account to view them.)
As you can see, we have tree branches down in many places, and several of the pens were damaged. One pen was destroyed. (Tala wasn't hurt, and is now in another pen.) We are incredibly thankful that no one was injured.
While the driveway is cleared (still only accessible with 4WD), we need to get the tree limbs out of the pens and repair the damage. Given the size of many of them, chainsaws will be necessary. (Note: it is possible to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up.)
This is where you come in. We need people to help us with the cleanup! Removal/repair will be an ongoing process, and could take weeks. Any help that we can receive to make this go a little faster would be greatly appreciated. As we have limited tools, we need to ask you to please bring your own, if you have them.
The Farm is also currently without power or phone. If you need directions, please email mish@fullmoonfarm.org.
We are grateful for any and all assistance. Thank you so much!
UPDATE:
As of around 7 pm on the 27th, phone service has been restored. The power company is in the area, so that may be up sometime tonight. A few more pens were cleared today. And the driveway will be plowed tomorrow.
UPDATE 2:
12/28/2009: Power has been restored, but the water pump is broken. We are hoping to get it repaired tomorrow. Clearing/repairing pens continues. The driveway is passable to vehicles with 4WD or all-wheel drive. Our thanks to everyone who has helped!

Situated on 17 beautiful mountain acres in Black Mountain, NC, we operate as a federally recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization for abused and refused wolfdogs and wolves who find themselves in need of love, shelter, and care through no fault of their own.
Though they may be abused or neglected, homeless because of death or divorce, they are all God's Creatures and worthy of a lifetime of respect. We are here to serve them.
