Appalachia's Katrina: Does Anyone Care?

This is absolutely terrible.....heartbreaking
 


The lack of media presence on the ground isn’t due to neglect—reporters can't get into many areas, for the same reason help can’t. Even if they could, there is phone and internet do not exist. This is not going to be a quick recovery for anyone. Some rural parts of Western NC may not be rebuilt.

Some thoughts and observations to the state and federal response to historic flooding in Western NC from Hurricane Helene Its not sinking in to outsiders, or it’s just so hard to comprehend that the countless roads in Western N.C. , simply no longer exist. The state and federal response has been ongoing, with over 1,000 personnel, including National Guard assets, deployed according to FEMA. Disaster Declaration for NC have been expedited, approved, but… Those crews cannot traverse over collapsed bridges, 100+ foot ravinesthat weren’t there before.

Main interstates I-40 and I-26 have collapsed. Primary state routes are scoured. The secondary roads into neighborhoods are effectively eviscerated, for miles. Survivors can’t get out, help can’t get in. It’s hard enough to get into Asheville. 30 minutes drives take 8-12 hours with the roads not existing, the remaining gas stations swamped. To get into the towns in villages in the mountains is a days journey if possible at all. National Guard trucks with food and water have to stop and collapses. The tools and supplies for SAR aren’t getting in via road.

Similar to Hurricane Katrina, where boats and helicopters were the only viable means of aid delivery in the first days, air support is currently the most effective way to connect Western NC to the outside world. There’s a limited amount of helicopters operating. Although the water has receded, the roads are still impassable.This is still very much an active search and rescue mission not a recovery. There is a high number of missing (in the thousands per state media) because people can’t get in touch with loved ones. We saw this after Hurricane Ian as well, that number will drop significantly when phone service/internet returns. For death toll and recovery, the final number will not be known for at least a month in the region.

I'm astounded (or not really) that the MSM seems obsessed with Hezbollah halfway around the world. Meanwhile, Asheville NC and surrounding areas are decimated and cut off from modern civilization. At least 50 people have died and maybe more.

Do not worry, Sue. After the place dries up, the Fed will build cheap housing then send in a few thousand Haitians to repopulate the area.

Why?

It is the stupidest thing they could ******* do. If they show up then tons of resources that could be used to helping those in need have to be diverted to keeping the POTUS safe.

Yes, Trump would have shown up so he could have a photo op, because that is all the matters to him.

Lol, you loons crapped your pants when Bush just flew over after Katrina. You loons are such hypocrites. I do hope Biden does stay away, he screws everything up that he does.

Why would they fly an ailing Alzheimer's patient to the disaster?

I mean really, why fly a walking disaster to a disaster?

Kamala is too busy hiding from the media to be bothered.

The Biden Harris regime has denied aid to flood victims. Do you think these democrats want to go there to be confronted? Hell no.

However much we hate the MSM, it's not enough. Not nearly enough.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced Saturday evening that 10 people have died due to Hurricane Helene.

"The catastrophic devastation to western North Carolina is like nothing we have ever seen," Cooper said in a statement. "Emergency responders are working around the clock coordinating rescues and getting resources to help people with their immediate needs as they work to save lives."

Since Thursday, over 200 people have been rescued through water and helicopter rescues in the state.

It's less they are ignoring this and more they made Katrina a referendum on a President they didn't like.
