Needlepoint.com, which was founded in Raleigh, NC (middle of the state), is having a fund raiser for the hurricane damage in the western part of the state near the Tennessee line.
I won't bore you with tales of the destruction which I hear from friends and relatives in the area, but trust me, it's horrible. No power, Internet, running water, medication, roads--they lost it all. So go buy something or donate to other charities that are trying to help the mountains recover.
UPDATE: Needlepoint.com has raised over $65,000.00 to help those whose lives have been upended. Thank you!
