Someone test this and report back. I've got a 20.5 year old niece who needs this answer by May. NEEDS, she says.

Honestly disappointed to learn that éclaircissement has nothing to do with eclairs

It seems main Reason Asheville has not water is because the main water line that brings 2/3 of the water from the Laurel Ridge, Black Mountain reservoir is badly broken in different parts. On top of that the pumping stations are damage or without electricity.

Asheville, we are here. WCK is in North Carolina working to reach flooded communities and families stranded by Hurricane Helene. #ChefsForNorthCarolina

It's National French Fry Day, and @jdrewjackson put to the test @brookecain's claim that Cloos' Coney Island has the Triangle's best. (My take: these fries are dang good!) newsobserver.com/living/food-dr…
