It’s not just worst than you thought…
It’s worse than you can imagine.
Large area’s of western NC are destroyed. The roads are GONE. The power is off, for months at best, years more likely. Many of the power substations were destroyed and we have no capacity to replace them.
The destruction is WORSE than that caused by war conditions. People are completely cut off. There is no food and if there were they cannot get to it.
Entire mountain towns are DESTROYED. The lively-hood of the people in the towns are destroyed. There is nothing left.
This happens on rare occasion but always in a small area, one town or two has devastation. This is across the entire western part of the state.
This is without question the worst disaster in American history. Did you know that?
Who are our friends and who is our enemy? I have absolute contempt for our state and federal government that does nothing. Every resource at their disposal should have been mobilized, and CRICKETS.
It’s clear who the enemy is.
I have a customer in the area. I’ve had one text from one person, “It’s really bad”. That’s it.
Spruce Pine, Little Switzerland, Burnsville – these are all communities at or near the top of the mountains, imagine that if they are destroyed that what is below is just hell –
SCREAM LOUDLY TO ANYONE THAT CAN HEAR – DEMAND THE GOVERNMENT DEPLOY THEIR ASSETS TO HELP THE AMERICANS IN DIRE NEED
UPDATE:
I’m not the only one that notes the obvious:
UPDATE Deux:
“Biden, likewise, could have mobilized the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions the morning after Helene to deliver food, medical supplies, and evacuate stranded citizens by helicopter.”
And the Democrats are, by calculation, waging war against the dying citizens of western North Carolina.
UPDATE Trois:
I am entirely convinced that we just witnessed the greatest natural disaster in modern U.S. history…
UPDATE Quatre:
I drove from outside Charlotte NC down Interstate 85 to near Georgia Monday morning. I am happy to report that help is arriving in the form of tree company trucks and power company service trucks. I passed at least one hundred of them headed south* in a 2.5 hour drive. Shout out to the states of Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan as there were quite a few trucks with tags from those area’s. There is a shortage of hotel rooms in the Greenville and Anderson (SC) area’s due to the out of town help that has arrived. These are some seriously capable folks.
*I left the house at 6:30am, so the number arriving through the day is probably in the hundreds, maybe more. And yes literally, I passed a truck nearly every minute of the trip. It was crowded.
