      I was blessed enough to have traveled to, and stayed in, Asheville last October at this exact time for my sisters birthdays. I feel like it was meant to be. I had never even heard of it. Knew nothing about it. But, by goodness, what a most magical place. Even took a trip to the Biltmore. I’m at a total and complete loss for words, thoughts, feelings. Sending you, and every human affected by this, be it small or infinitely massive, love, hope, warm hugs and healing vibes. I’m out of work and would come down in a heartbeat if I had a penny to my name. ♥️

They say these people are fantastic, they have amassed donated supplies and they load up each chopper and give the pilot names & addresses where to take the stuff. On their return trips back to the airport, the pilots bring out people who needed rescue like medical patients, the elderly and mothers with infants.

      The other side of politics doesn't want people to be united! What they are demanding is compliance! The people who live in those areas are not seen as human beings by the left. CRT training teaches that white people are not human. None of this is my opinion. I was very much shocked when my research revealed what CRT was training people to believe. And that is just a small part of their agenda. The west coast knows nothing about the damage and loss of life, while the mainstream media is keeping them in the dark about the hurricane damage in the area. Never in recorded history has a weather event happened like this. Their goal is to force people out, to make them suffer so that they will be desperate enough to do anything to survive.
      So yes please! We the people are the only ones who will help these people survive. So good luck and thanks.

      Are you being antagonistic? Are you reviling? Regardless of your claimed beliefs, reviling is not His way. He condemns it, see 1 Corinthians 6 where reviling is included in a list of behaviors that will not enter the kingdom of God. Reviling includes scoffing, ridiculing, laughing at people, mocking them, it is not righteous. Using words to pounce on someone grieving (the OP in this case) does not please Him. The OP of this thread does not deserve your antagonism. Your attitudes and words here do not glorify God, and it doesn't exalt you either. If you have truth to state, the scripture tells us to say it in Love. Your emojis show laughter. That's mean-spirited. Does bad fruit come from a good tree? Which 'fruit of the spirit' does your comment show? Any?

    My son lives in eastern Tennessee and the roads are not passable in most places around him. He was not affected much. He just brought a home in July and the place he left was washed away. I visited a month ago and the road was blocked by a tree that fell during a storm. A farmer showed up with a Bobcat and cleared the tree, rocks and mud from the road. Very quickly he came in the rain in the dark for free. The people are always willing to help.

    I'm here in A-Ville, and I can say that my faith in humanity has been restored. Within days, you can find stations for water and food everywhere. WHC is delivering food by helicopter to hard-to-reach areas. Plenty of volunteers, themselves without power and water, are working to get things to those in need. The rumors of looting and robberies are just that - rumors. Swannanoah is wiped out around the river, and will never be the same, as is the Chimney Rock-Lake Lure region. They are looking at weeks before water is even running again in the Asheville area; and normalcy won't be a thing for a long time. That being said, between Duke and other power crews working overtime, and crews clearing out trees and roads, and just good people helping each other out, it's night and day from what has happened in the past in other areas.
    Come Hell or High water! Mountain Strong!

We in Virginia would like to be hands on, but don’t want to be in the way either. I know dogs are needed for locating remains, our family has cadaver search dogs sent to help as well as search and rescue dogs as well. Our schools have sent dog and cat food, including bowls. And canned foods along with ready to make emergency meals. Hang in there NC, we will never turn our backs on you as long as there is a need. 💙

    As a local Ashevillian, I want to THANK YOU guys for what you did when we most needed it. I was bawling my eyes out watching what you guys did. I didn't have electricity or internet for 12 days (no water for 10), so I couldn't have seen this. Some won't have power until Thanksgiving with current estimates. It's taken me 3 weeks to be able to handle watching some of these videos. It has been heart-wrenching. Thanks for your documentation of this. It was so much worse than you guys even got to see. Truly apocalyptic devastation with river levels rising FAST and creeks turning into raging torrents. Again, THANK YOU for what you guys and sooooo many others did. We needed every bit of it. We did have private chopper pilots who flew in as soon as skies cleared, bringing supplies and taking items to hard-to-reach areas. The guys at the airport tried to suck them into an administrative loop with the FAA, but the pilots said "Go to hell. You either help us or get out of our way. These people need help NOW," and proceeded to get in their choppers and started flying. YAYYY for the pilots!!

The National Guard was already here by the night before the storm. Once the storm passed they got right to work. I saw them myself working on Saturday, less than 24 hours after the storm. Don't believe the LIES being spread by people who don't even live here.
      There are also several non-government agencies working very hard. And community members are being very helpful to their neighbors. This is a huge disaster, covering hundreds of miles, with mountainous terrain and dense forestry. It's hard to get around everywhere in normal circumstances, but much worse now with roads destroyed and debris everywhere. People are working hard, but it is going to take a lot to get western NC back on track.

      It sickens me to see people making stupid comments. You can't prepare for this level of destruction in the mountains.

      There are circumstances outside of people's control that leads them to becoming unintended victims, being strong and independent and building a sense of personal sovereignty and autonomy isn't always intrinsic or taught by others and denotes nescience rather than ignorance, and has to be awakened in those who have had their hope smoted by other traumas and bs. Some people are only coming out of their coccoon just now to realize the bigger picture, realize their true power and consolidated ancestral teachings they forgot to remember. Sometimes strength requires compassion, faith and hope too.
