HEADLINES
A Blizzard Hits Ballicastle, Tyremoor and Thornwyke
December: Sources from the northern tiers have confirmed that a blizzard with heavy snowfall and strong winds have hit the mountains of Ballicastle then drifted north to hit the valley of Thornwyke only to circle back and cover Balli with more and is now heading to Tyremoor. Oddly, no snowfall was reported around the Crystal Caves.
Several Reported Missing
With snow falling in droves and in some places leaving more than eight feet in it's wake, many people have reported relatives and loved ones missing. Of the few reported missing:
* Jon and Edward McAndrews (though at press time it was confirmed that both are safe and doing well)
*Sarah McDonough and Autumn MacShire: scouts and several groups have been searching for the lost healers.
*Sir Renae Leroux broke her leg in an avalanche. Rescued by Draven MacShire she is reported doing fine now but will be on crutches.
Scouts & Rangers
Myles MacKeogh and Brandon Easterly are heading up the investigation of the weather patterns and are among the elite in the search and tracking team.
In addition to a select Ranger unit comprised of Keera Albrite, Meekel Silvertone and Michael Reeves, smaller groups have banded together to help search and rescue any waylaid travelers.
Draven MacShire, Renae Leroux, Blake Gardner will scout the trails of the Northern Tiers of Heathfield. Malcolm and Thomas Douglas were scouting the ranges of Tyremoor. Rory McDonough and Al are scouting the western ranges of the Northern Tier. Maurice McDonough teaming up with Joe McAndrews would take the Northwest areas of the Northern Tier.
