Lawson Clary, the executive pastor at Five Point Church in Easley, drops off some lunch to Marlee Carey, just across the border in Anderson County. Carey had lost touch with family in Atlanta, but has finally been able to tell her sister she's fine.

Scott Morgan visited Easley, in Pickens County, Wednesday. He found neighbors helping neighbors locally and as far as Buncombe County, North Carolina — which was even more crippled by the storm.
