Title: Doc Watson
Description: I live in downtown Boone and after a tree came down on my property, cutting off power and leaving me wondering when the next tree might fall, I decided to put on all of my rain gear and walk downtown. I walked where I could for about an hour taking pictures and video and checking on friends' businesses. As I was heading home at about 11:30 am, the rain picked up heavily again and I decided to take cover under an awning just behind the Doc Watson statue on King St. From that perspective I took a picture of Doc, playing his guitar as the floodwaters poured through the intersection of King and Depot streets.
