I have heard that the Radical Faeries' Short Mountain Sanctuary in TN is a bit wet - but everyone is fine.

There are a lot of intentional (and occasionally utopian) communities in the mountains of Western NC and Eastern TN. Many of these places have been practicing sustainable agriculture and living practices for decades. They have all been hit very hard and many are very remote.
