As you know I've posted a week or so ago about the situation in WNC. I can tell you this FEMA and the state hasn't helped a bit. Most people got denied the $750 including me after calling FEMA three times and visiting their tent. The FEMA folks at the tent in Arden NC were nice but powerless. The did have a FEMA photographer there to make FEMA look good. I wasn't impressed.
Truth is the locals have gone above and beyond. The media WLOS ABC affiliate is a complete joke. WWNC 570 AM helped with local issues such as search and rescue and helping coordinate supplies live over the air, but was very hesitant to call out the State, FEMA, or Governor Cooper with the excuse 'talk politics later'.
This area will never be the same again. So many lost their livelihoods and businesses. The death count is being covered up. Believe it. The state slow walked everything. Believe it. I believe its been done on purpose.
Keep us in your prayers. So many dislodged from normal life, and so many missing and most likely perished. I hope we can return to normalcy but I doubt it will happen. This has changed the area for the foreseeable future.
Prayers for you, fren, and all of your neighbors. It's heartbreaking that politics is priority #1 with the government. Please take care of yourself and keep us updated. May the Lord bless you and give you continued strength.
As much as it sucks right now. Everyone in NC better vote for Republican Governor Mark Robinson and do early voting so it will be difficult to rig. Cooper got rigged in.
Local elections are just as important as Federal Elections. Vote as soon as early voting is possible. Too big to rig.
Amen. I am so sorry. I wish I could be in a position to help. Prayer is what I have.
I saw a video of a group of fellows who repair bridges for a living. They are going around and doing temporary bridges to homes cut off since the flood. They are doing this on their own dime. So far they’ve done more than forty!
Yep. I agree, locals are doing 99% of everything with FEMA assisting in landgrab for the WEF and goons like Gov. Cooper.
Governor Cooper is vying for a Club Gitmo vacation.
He certainly deserves it. He should have had 5000 National Guard on standby as soon as the winds calmed down. He should have had them assist in cell towers as we use cell phones as our main source of communication. That should have been done within 48 hours max. Also at the same time with search and rescue immediately. Also he should have helped with electric restoration by transporting supplies, poles, electric wires and helped with logistics on all three mentioned here.
He failed so terribly no way was it just incompetence.
the least FEMA or the NG could have done as soon as the winds calmed down was to try to fly in and drop water, food, blankets and long range walkie talkies so people could communicate.
Gitmo will be kinda like an airport for these ppl as they reach their final destinations in the pits of hell.
He is done anyways and don't care.
Thanks for the report.
Continued prayers for the good people there.
FEMA needs to be defunded and closed. Musk..
Funding should be donated directly to organizations that do provide lifesaving assistance in times of crisis. There should be a public “report card” for those agencies so that you can make informed donations that align with your values.
This is just one of WEF's 'Poly Crises' to soften us up for 'Globalism'. there will be more till the 'Cabal' is stopped. jmo
I'm in the area as well PLEASE NOTE the $750 must be paid back next year or they can put a lien on your property! Read the fine print! Fuck FEMA
def don't take the $750. what the hell good is $750 going to do for them anyways? they can't go to a store a buy anything.
if this happened in a town that was full of illegals you can bet they would have been saved in days, flown into the best hotels, best food and clothing and given $2,000 a month to play with and no strings attached.
Appreciate the knowledge, but please do not try to take their handouts. You are fortunate to not have received it. Currently, there is no such thing as a free meal. You are here because you know what they do. Every dime had a string attached that is likely to upend many people. I wish the best for you and yours.
That is true with FEMA dollars that there are stipulations.
🙏🙏🙏😪
This is obviously a demoralization exercise.
Then they wag billions to other countries.
The only thing we can do is make sure Trump gets back in. Then things can change. But I know this is all intentional for people to deny the govt and lose all faith, with has been completely successful.
Trump or we're all completely fucked.
I'm sorry.🙏😔❤️🇺🇲
A number of us feel that the most severe destruction up in those mountains was caused by dams breaking or otherwise being opened up.
Rising floodwaters from even hurricane rains do not have the blasting destructive force to wipe whole towns off the map and drive shattered pieces of buildings into a lake far below.
That takes a tsunami-like storm surge on the coasts or, if you're in the mountains, a huge sudden blow from a wall of water coming down from a broken, overtopped, or suddenly opened-up dam.
What is your opinion, since you are actually there?
Our family prayers are still with you guys out there. I am so sorry that those given the responsibility to help, have instead corrupted the government programs. I am so grateful multiple private & religious groups are on the ground actually helping as best as they can.
Keep your faith & continue to work with the good groups that are helping.
Praying alphaliberal I'm so sorry that you and your fellow Carolinians are suffering.
Well to be honest, I'm better off than many, but at the same time that $750 could have helped considering I actually paid in in taxes to the Feds.
I'm feeling such heartbreak and outrage all at the same time that you fine people are suffering so deeply. I have no doubt that POTUS will get to the bottom of this. Of course, I'm sure he already knows the truth.
I know the lose of life is worse that they're saying and I'm so worried about those remaining. They will need mental health help and soon! Suffering from survivor guilt, PTSD, anger, sorrow and more. They need out prayers daily...💔🙏
Some how those folks need to get as accurate a death count as possible, there will another election in 2 years. this period will likely be the major topic at that time and a accurate account can be used effectively to root out the f----s who did nothing or just stood by in the state as the tragedy occurred
with Trump in office FEMA will be disbanded and replace, I personally hope with a considerably more robust state national guard with a federal; liaison office
We won’t forget y’all Anon. Somehow, someway, we’ll get the truth out and get justice for all those affected by the hurricane damage and lithium landgrab! WWG1WGA.
We’re just east of you. Everywhere I go there are donation drops. We’ve been sending supplies, toys and money via Samaritan’s Purse. And prayers. May God protect you, your family and all your neighbors.
Prayers for you♥️🙏🏻♥️
We once had a neighborhood where we were all friends but were forced out because the government had other plans for the area. They allowed us to burn and wouldn't let us build back. We won a court case but they didn't comply, but by then we were out of money. Money wins, but don't let them take the guns. I believe we never had any use for FEMA or DHS, and they were created for nefarious reasons, but that's my belief. In our case, charities and churches helped more than the government. Here in the Sierras, there is still gold in the ground, and the properties that we own extend down to 100 feet beneath the surface.
May the victims in WNC find strength and comfort.
I think we need property rights like that that go down 100 feet. No more trafficking tunnels. When the government is reduced to a small fraction of what it is now, I do believe that they will give away all that stolen land
Prayers on the way fren.
Thanks for the report.
Vengeance should be on all of our minds.
tbh, i was sickened about the jokes everyone was making at the Al Smith dinner about all the billionaires there and the middle class drowning. paraphrasing, but i found NO humor in that at all.
As a Floridian we all know all too well about FEMA..some never received assistance from tropical storm Debbie. Good luck obtaining assistance from Hurricanes Ian, Idalia, Helene and MIlton.
Stay strong and why having a close knit community is vital. Vote, vote, vote as you need local reps and a State governor that works for YOU.
