Facebook page for stranded NC travelers

If you or anyone you know needs shelter or help getting a car pulled out of the snow , a friend set up a Facebook page that has all kinds of resources. People across the state are offering stranded travelers a warm place to stay and hot food or if you're stuck, people with SUV's are offering to come out and get you unstuck. We've also had reporters from the BBC, Al Jazeera and CNN wanting interviews, so be forewarned. https://www.facebook.com/groups/219098261615572/

The page has been up since rush hour and most people are probably home now but I think we're supposed to get a couple more inches of snow tomorrow and some might try to go in to work , so I'd thought I'd post.
