    Yes Asheville, NC got absolutely slammed during the Helene storm. But just up the road on highway 19E there are smaller towns that have received equal damages that are not being discussed in the major news reports. They have no electricity, no fuel at gas stations because they are out of fuel, what food was left atl grocery stores has been sold out, their roads are washed out along with bridges and many had homes swept away or damaged by trees. Supplies cannot be easily delivered since the roads are gully's or worse. Most of these people have lived in the mountain counties of Madison, Yancey, Mitchell, Avery and Watauga for generations. And yet, there are no major news reports of their desperate situations. Asheville is certainly not the only Western Carolina city suffering. Burnsville, Spruce Pine and Bakersville are now isolated islands in the mountains needing drinking water, food, clothing, shelters, medicine, baby formula and baby necessities.

    The confusing part of this is that the Country is under a National Emergency. Why hasn't he given an Executive Order to keep Port supplies moving to help restoration efforts? That would keep the ports working to send needed supplies to the destroyed areas. Or does that take a smarter person to think of it?Update: Someone read this at the Port and postponed the strike until January. Thank God!

Most of all don’t rebuild at places that was damaged via floods and other natural disasters bc if it happened once; it will happen again. Why is it so difficult to comprehend this simple fact? Government should give equivalent size plots at safe areas to build instead of rebuilding the areas already proven to be unsafe. If we do this; there won’t be people whose lives and homes are destroyed again. It’s not too difficult folks.

      No actually Trump has donated millions of dollars out of his own account to the flood victims which is not covered by the fake news while President potato was asked point blank if there's any money left for the hurricane victims and if there's anything else left to do he bluntly said no

    Well if it's going to cost half a billion dollars a day I would think that those companies could fork over a raise And back off on the robo blocks

    Obviously this is a horrible thing and my sympathies go out to the victims. But one must also acknowledge the irony that a lot of conservatives live in the southeast and especially like to retire to Florida, and that’s the area most hit by the climate science they deny. Hurricanes are formed by warm ocean water heating the air above it, and warm ocean water is caused by - you guessed it - global warming leading to climate change.
