Most Of The People Effected By Helene Are Just Without Power

[OKTexas]

Risk you take living out in the boondocks

What if my power goes out?

People far from the coasts don't expect the entire power structure to be destroyed. There's a big difference between being without power for a day and being without it for weeks. Then in NC they are dealing with being isolated because of roads and bridges being washed out. How do you plan for a 1000 year flood?

What?
Do you need a Nanny State to take care of you?

The nanny state promises to when they steal our money. Is it wrong to expect to get what you pay for?

Well yeah, once the hurricane blows over there is normally very clear skies for a while as the hurricane pulled out all the moisture

I don't know how many hurricanes you've been thru, but what they do is pull dry air from the North further South, and when they come thru they leave hot, humid air behind.

Cali doesn't have Cat 5 hurricanes.

California doesn't need hurricanes to decimate the power grid.

All it takes is electing a Democrat governor.

The statement was that those folks got what they deserved for choosing a rural area
Absolutely heartless douche bag

Adults plan for catastrophes

Those in remote areas are going to be the last to get power restored

He’s an entitled federal government retiree, who never had to worry about losing a job or massive inflation eroding his buying power. They are overwhelmingly Dems who talk about how they “care” about the working class, but in truth they have contempt and disdain for them.

And the working class knows it. That is why they - the largest voting bloc in the country - will be the ones to kick the Dems to the curb.

Adults also plan for job training so they don’t end up on welfare.

Adults don’t plan for once every 1,000 year wipe outs. Fatalists do constantly. Thats mental illness just like liberalism

Well the funny thing is that having been through over ten hurricanes and even more tropical storms .... YOUR POWER GOES OFF FOR HOURS AND DAYS. And you can buy a 7500W generator for around 2K, and you'd be insane to live in a rural area without one. But even then, you ain't gonna have central air, freezer, fridge, tv and lights. But you should get a fridge, window unit and minimal lighting PLUS TURN ON YOUR EMERGENCY RADIO.

I'm 150 miles from the gulf, and if I ever see another Katrina (or Milton), I'm going another 150 or so to a motel

50 Amps doesn't do much in todays world and the price will at least double, or more with instillation by a plumber and a qualified electrician. And depending on the natural gas draw and pressure requirements you may also need an upgraded gas meter. It's not just as simple as buying the generator. I know, I've done it twice. For the minor difference you're better off buying a larger unit.

Many of the people who are suffering in NC, SC, GA, and FL are still without power. There are people up in the mountains that haven't had electricity since Helene moved thru the area. They're running out of food and water and nobody is helping them.

It doesn't make any sense to switch everything to electric if the government can shut off the grid or if a storm can cause millions to lose power. The only power these people have is with gas powered generators.

If you want miracles call Jesus.

I see nothing about this that involved the Senate.

Biden cancelled all of the leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge but only left the Willow Creek project in force. Lease approvals have nothing to do with the VP unless there's a tie vote, yet I see no vote ever took place according to WIKIPEDIA.

Willow project - Wikipedia

They're cutting back on production while claiming they're increasing production.

Correct. He purposely locked in the biggest project on public land, keeping on public lands dedicated to Petroleum exploration and saved National Arctic Wildlife refuge. Win, Win, Win for everybody.

Thread summary:

MAGA rots both the mind and the soul.

The Trump cult sickos on this thread aren't even close to being normal. They're deviant hate-addicts, and their lives are quests to keep making up ever-more insane reasons to hate.

Plus, they really want to see more people die, because they think it will help their politics. They don't hide that fact well. That's why they praise speaker Johnson for refusing to allocate more funding.

Democrats act and save, Republicans obstruct and kill.

Anything less than an army of FEMA reps willing to rebuild houses/electrical grids on the spot within 15 minutes of a storm passing is a 'disaster' to magaturds.

The sad fact of the matter is, the more rural you are, the longer you will likely have to wait for your power to come back.

That's how it is here...we are rural and ALWAYS LAST... it stinks! We went a week without electric, in an ice storm, Christmas week, a few years back....

A few years later, we now have a generator for the fridge and freezer and lights and tv/internet, a propane and butane stove to cook, and a gas buddy propane heater.... Now that we have everything we need....we haven't lost electric, of course!

Actually not true, I heard a program manager from an Ashville radio station this evening. He said 85% of the water treatment facilities in Ashville were destroyed. That kind of infrastructure can't be replaced over night.

You've been watching the 3 letter news too much.

Biden has made promises to end fossil fuels.

Why would he do that and, as you say, keep public lands producing fossil fuels?

All he (the Deep State) has to do is get enough power and he can cut it off......and make it look like it's not his fault.

You really need to study up on how communists take over countries.

The most recent is Brazil.....and Venezuela 6 years ago.

If their houses ran on solar and electric batteries, they would not be without power.
