Outside the Mellow Mushroom, there was a long line of people Tuesday waiting for something that has also been hard to come by — pizza.
Gerry Mahon, who owns the popular pizzeria on Broadway Street, said he has given out $5,000 worth of pizza to his fellow storm survivors.
"It’s good," a delighted Charity Padilla, of Asheville, said after she secured one of the precious pies.
A long line of cars queued up Tuesday at a drive-thru water distribution center at Asheville Middle School.
Koral Alexander, who lives near Pisgah National Forest outside Asheville, said she was in town watching a friend's dog when the storm hit.
