  • Historic Hurricane Helene is captured on camera in this raw video from the Big Bend area of Florida. The powerful eyewall hammered Perry and the rest of the area with huge Category 4 hurricane winds, triggering power flashes and huge wind damage. To the north, North Carolina recovery efforts were witnessed thanks to Chris Hall, who's been doing amazing work since the effort started. And of course, we have Hurricane Milton ramping up...
    Thanks to ‪@606stormchasing‬ (Chris Hall) for showing us the relief effort in North Carolina on the ground! ‪@EdgarTheStormChaser‬

      Of course they are going to be there. But where is there? How many places, how much is the effort? And how much effort are they making to keep people from helping other people. A lot of questions, and it seems many people who are actually there are angry. And then of course you have 750$ Per family, IF they qualify, and IF they can get online to fill out a form. It's a joke. But we can foot the tax bill to send billions to other countries for their wars, right? Give me a break.

      Yep FEMA isn't perfect but they absolutely have been responding to this. I'm in East TN. They are here and have been doing life saving work.
      This narrative that people are trying so hard to push that FEMA hasn't been here at all is strange. Unfortunately looks like a lot of people are taking advantage of this disaster as an opportunity to sow mistrust in FEMA, and by extension the current administration, for political gain. So now we have disaster victims afraid to take the $750 emergency grant because they believe they'll have to repay it with interest due to misinformation being spread, or they don't access FEMA supply resources that they're entitled to because they've been told they aren't available so they don't even try.
      I think Reed's a good dude and his heart is usually in the right place but it is weird to see him repeatedly pushing this anti FEMA messaging this week. Especially as he's literally showing piles of FEMA supplies as he's claiming they haven't had a presence there. And the "I haven't seen a representative yet" while failing to mention that he was only in NC for one day, a week after the disaster. (To clarify, I'm not hating on him for not being there more, I know he was having logistical issues with aquiring a vehicle and figuring out travel with a dog that's very old and not in the best of health so I'm not judging him for that at all. I just think he should have been upfront about that when he was claiming he hasn't seen FEMA presence though.)

    Reed thank you for what you do to report on storms! The head of fema was just on NBC telling all she has sent Fl. ahead of Milton. She did not send any ahead of Helene or after! Why?? People &Churches responded to help!! Why has she done this??

    Interesting note (ha), the tone created when mains power arcs is actually 120hz, -since it's 60hz two-phase separated 180°- . If it were 60hz it'd be so low you'd have trouble hearing it. It is definitely a very sharp Bb tho, in fact it's pretty much dead center between Bb and B, so B quarter flat.
    I was wrong, turns out it's actually because the sound waves hit their highs at both the peaks and valleys of the electrical wave, so it's always double the AC frequency regardless of phases.
