CHIMNEY ROCK — After working for years at her family's rug manufacturing company in Gaffney, South Carolina, Lisa Peeler Brady moved into her family's longtime vacation home in Chimney Rock, in Rutherford County. The house sat on South Side Drive between Main Street and Chimney Rock State Park, on a bank of the Rocky Broad River.
Dave, this is a somewhat related story… flood related… I drove up to Lake Lure last week when they had a kind of open house invitation. The main attraction was the Lake Lure Inn where I just skirted the lines and spoke to a few people. They ran a bus shuttle from the Ingles south of town. Zeke and I drove in via 74 and 108 because 64 was closed. We parked about a quarter south on the peaceful river side to walk in. I went just to look around and spend a little money. I was very pleased to see a substantial crowd of people doing the same thing. The destruction, although widespread, was still largely hit and miss as was the personal tragedy documented in this article. The fury of the storm lifted in a matter of hours and in the warm and sunny days that followed for some people it was like it never happened but for others it will never end.
