A much happier story would have “I was fired for fleeing a flood but I lived to tell the tell”

This is heartbreaking

This story does exist! Just not in newspapers or websites.

My friend in a flood zone left her shift during the flooding in Asheville and she's not sure if she has a job coming back.

I’m glad she’s safe. You don’t need me to tell you she did the right thing .

I also think the news media would like to talk to her, especially after this tragedy.
