My Hurricane Helene Experience...

[Crepitus]

The climate has been changing for billions of years.
You low information people buy into whatever garbage your celebrities and lying news media spoon feed you.

There was a time Earth had no Oxygen. You and your media will no doubt blame that on Pintos and Station wagons....
And MANY of you will believe it.

SMH...

I know you people are stupid, I mean every normal person does, but every now and then one of you will say something that just really brings it home if ya know what I mean.

 

[Crepitus]

The weird thing is NOAA has a big office building in Asheville, and the University of North Carolina has one of the premier meteorology programs based at the Asheville campus.
So, ironically the chances are good that the meteorologists that totally fucked up the forecast were trained in Asheville and may even work there.

Totally fucked up what forecast?

The climate change skeptics will, sadly, finally accept the science when the flood waters are up the 4th step and the tree has crashed through the roof, that is if they are not swept away first. We all know we are running out of time, and to have a government that publicly sides with fossil fuels (and limitless funding) over what we are doing is criminal. Literally, figuratively, all of that.

Sorry you were affected, but welcome to the new normal. Yes, it's real.

It's been real forever, moron.
Low level places flood, smart guy. It's not rocket surgery.

I live in South Carolina and I thought it Hurricane Helene would break apart like it usually does and just end up with broken branches on the ground. I looked around and felt I was satisfied that I had enough for the storm. They say it was Cat 4 when it hit Florida land. Usually it breaks up as it moves through Florida and Georgia. This time it took a hard path right where I lived. The winds started on Thursday so I cancelled my doc appointment. It began to rain and all night I was so nervous because the rains were unrelenting. I had to drive to Dialysis very early in the morning and during the strong hurricane!. It was the toughest one I had ever driven though with everything you see on TV with the rain going sideways and strong winds. I parked at Dialysis and waited for them to open up. The wind was picking up my car and the hardest rain you ever saw was hitting my window. Eventually she opened the door and I ran inside.

She got me quickly hooked up and I began to run on dialysis. 30 minutes in the power went off! We sat there and the manager told us we had to leave. I wondered about a generator? Nope. So now I had to go back out in the storm and I made it back to my house quickly. But there were large trees laying in the road. I could not get there going that way. I turned around and went a different way and when I got to my driveway, there was a LARGE TREE and it had fallen on my house!

The whole neighborhood was filled with trees that were down. I had no electricity. That went on for 7 days and about an hour ago I got the power back. During my time in the dark house with no lights I could not take a shower or bath because the water was cold. I did the hair in the sink. And washed my body with a scrubbie cloth. I did not cook for a week. I just ate things like crackers and easy dry foods.

On that day, two sweet ladies came with chainsaws and began working on trying to par the branches down. But they had struggles with the saw and they were not able to return. The owner slowly has chipped away at the massive tree on my house. I remember being in the shoes in deep mud and rain but wanting to help stack the smaller branches.

So for the next 7 days I waited for the power to come on but I learned the transformer pole exploded with force. I took a pic but my computer is not cooperating yet.

I want to say there are far worse folks than me in Asheville NC. 30 inches of rain and a sea of mud. Many lost their lives. There are reported 1,000 people missing at this time. Some may have passed and some are not able to use their cell phone or lost it in the water. My thoughts are with their families

I had some touching experiences. First my Social Worker called for Dialysis and told me because of my situation, the Kidney Fund wanted to help. Then when I got to the doc office a nice nurse heard what happened and offered me some food and said she had a case of water and wanted to give it to me! The young girl was wearing these pretty bracelets. I said "Oh those are beautiful!" She took one off and said this is for you! I could not believe it. She hugged me two times and it was like she was telling me she understood going 7 days without power. But you know what? She had lost HER electric too so we were in the same boat so to speak.

It was a very draining experience. My cell did not work,. no TV, no computer, just tried to read and relax.

Do you know someone who went through Helene and it has affected you?

Thanks.

I went out and helped a friend whose uncle is east of us

The left is praising how wonderful the rescue experts in government are

They're lying about the 11 day old baby in the MSM
It was charlie and zeb




Appalachian Air Force to the rescue
40 civilian helicopters
2 useless FUSA Blackhawks in air

Reports of guys who hung looters
Charlie and Zeb need more helicopters ,...the government is not coming to save you ...they hate you

 

[MarcATL]

Thank God for federal government and an administration that will move heaven and earth to get you the necessary funds and help you need OP.

Safe journies.

 

[jknowgood]

Why? If you oppose efforts to fight climate change, you are partially responsible for the damage it does.

Lol, like there hasn't been hurricanes since the beginning of the earth.

Comrade Kamala offered you $750. You'll be fine.

ROFL - "climate change"..... We are NOT going to control the weather, pal.

Hurricanes have been hitting the South for millions of years. Tornados have been hitting the midwest for millions of year. Cyclones have been hitting India and south Asia for millions of years. Cold and snow have been hitting Alaska and Siberia for millions of years.

The earth is doing fine and will shake off us humans like a bad case of fleas.

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

we believe in climate change ! we just believe its a natural cycle the earth goes through ... and the fact you had to politically attack the op after she told her inspiring story shows how sick you really are !

I don't know what Crepitus said because I have him on ignore

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Comrade Kamala offered you $750. You'll be fine.

She did? Is that for real?

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Glad you are OK. One thing I've not seen anyone point out was the great difference between the path the weather people forecast for it and where it really went. Here is a map of the FORECASTED path and I drew in where it really went in red lines. Big difference.

Frankly, I was surprised when before hitting land they had it hooking west! I thought all along I expected the thing to take the direction more like it really did.

Oh! Let me tell you! The white zone was headed to my friends house in Newnan, Georgia. She posted on FB and was really afraid. So then it took a right hook in the red zone on your map. I live in Easley. We got hit hard and then it went right up through NC and hit Asheville and other nearby cities hard. My friend said it never hit her hard and she said everything was pretty good, not what they expected.

 

[CrazyTrader55]

She did? Is that for real?

Sadly, it is. That's the government's offer to Helene victims.

This is what happens when you prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens.

 

[jknowgood]

Just got my power on last night. About 40 trees down on my property, but thank goodness none on my house or outside building.

I heard that we are running out of FEMA money because it has been spent on the migrants (illegals) crossing the border.

My brother and sister-in-law live in Georgia and are pissed at the Biden response to the hurricane.

Winner. Correct.

I believe this is Asheville....

This might be Biden/Harris "undoing"
