The @NCNationalGuard has been spotted in Marion NC. I am praying they can make it up Marion Mountain to get to these small towns. The reports I am getting are devastating. Walmart is closed. Has been looted. My niece has worked there for years. It has been emptied out. Ingles is under water can’t be looted. There is an area at the parkway on 226 with spotty service. My niece was able to speak to her sister. Samantha heard everyone crying in the background. Lizzie was crying. Spruce Pine is in very rough shape. My mom’s house is not livable but she said they are staying there right now. I will post pictures as soon as I can get them. No electricity or water. They do have a well and a spring on Halltown Rd. Gas for vehicles are an issue. This is going to be a long rescue and recovery process. Many roads are impassable and landslides are a major issue. Mountain people are tough and resilient. They are survivors, preppers.
My mom and her house before this storm. I need to hear her voice.
Ill bet they looted food and water before they looked at the TVs. When faced with a life threatening crises would you loot and take care of your own? I wouldnt be above this behavior and I wouldnt be looking at the electronics.
Ya got a downvote for this??? Wasn't me!
Its easy to have high moral standards when your life isnt threatened. I certainly have them. But if faced with me or my family dying, fuck their corporate profits.
Also - there’s not saying that if you did loot, that you could keep track of what you owe. Not that everybody would do that, but that’s still an option. Survival of the fittest. Natural selection. - if resources are available, yes, people should use them.
It does seem like every time there is a natural disaster the first thing to d is loot every store around!
