I found this on Ashville that was hit by the Hurricane.
"
Spruce Pine, a small town an hour north of Asheville, is among the only sites in the world to contain high-purity quartz, which is key to making semiconductors, according to author Ed Conway, who wrote Material World: The Six Raw Materials That Shape Modern Civilization.
The halt in operations could affect global supply chains that depend on semiconductors to make phones, solar panels and other technology."

They mine quartz there for the silica for the semiconductors. They closed down on 26/9 and don't know when they can reopen so a biggie for the USA.
