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.
I'm watching the occasional sortie of Black Hawks flying east-west headed out 40 assuming carrying supplies, but they can only carry so much. Every major highway in and out of the region is shut down and may not reopen for a while. Tons of small towns completely isolated. No drinking water in Asheville and surrounding areas. Chimney Rock no longer exists. If anyone wants to donate, I suggest Samaritan's Purse. They are based in Boone, NC and are in the epicenter of the wreckage. They are in the best position to help.
We're seeing why we need to be prepared for these events, there's more to come for sure.
Guarantee we won’t see Jack shit from FEMA.
Hey, they've got illegals to take care of, come on have a heart.😢
The libs of Asheville are now getting a taste of what the rest of the south gets treated like by this admin.
