Chimney Rock, NC: Blue-collar workers prevailed over bureaucracy in Hurricane Helene-ravaged North Carolina by rebuilding a highway at breakneck speed on their own terms – allowing residents to finally return home.
The government had nothing to do with the incredible feat by blue collar workers, who built the road on their own.

I know they (govt.) projected 2025 mid year before getting parts of 1-40 and 1-26 that were damaged ad destroyed.

I bought a new gas engine pressure washer and was going to sell my old one or give it away... I should look into having it boxed up and sent to Samaritans purse in NC.... It will probably be something they could use...

That is soo cool! Anything would be appreciated if you want to donate to Samaritans Purse,. Thank you for caring.

I still have that giant tree on my house from Hurricane Helene but two days ago, the insurance adjuster came but I don't own it, I rent it. It's all up to the owner. So it took them a month for them to get here and they are so backed up. When they finally take the trees down I want to use my blower to really clean up the yard. As it stands, one tree is laying at an angle and I am afraid its going to go down after a rain or just because of how it's positioned.
 
“The DOT (North Carolina Department of Transportation) said ‘yeah, we’ll send some engineers down here and assess the situation.’

“Then the West Virginia boys came in and said, ‘We’ll have this road punched in in about three days.’ No s–t,” he recalled.

No code/grant or other grift involved.

There was a road that washed out where we had a hunting lease.....The state said it would take a month to fix it. About 20 families were stranded up in the hollow.

The farmer whose land it bordered brought in the neighbors, and a couple hunt clubs, refenced the fields next to it, and opened a dirt road around the damaged section.

VDOT came along and told him he could not do that but the state police told VDOT to fuck-off because it was on private land and the entrance/exit onto the public road was on private land.

Finally, the state reopened the old road.....Three months later.....I think part of that was because the farmer would not allow VDOT vehicles on his land.....The road held-up pretty well over that time.
