    🚨 ALERT: Asheville, NC is a TOTAL blackout zone, so we’ve set up TWO Starlink Stations for Public Use

    Even NC State Police aren’t able to connect to cellular networks, so they’re using our Starlinks now.

    SPOT 1:
    DoubleTree Hilton Downtown
    199 Haywood
    SSID: SORTOR STARLINK
    Pass: ncstrong

    SPOT 2:
    Asheville Shelter
    Ferguson Building
    340 Victoria Rd
    SSID: HALL STARLINK
    Pass: ncstrong

    Spread this for ANYONE in the affected area. It’s been days since anyone’s been able to connect to cellular out here.

    @ChrisHallWx
    and I have had these up and running for an hour, and I lost count of the amount of people that’ve told us they’ve FINALLY been able to connect with friends and family and let them know they’re okay 🙂

    I’m sure this post will have someone run up my data bill just to troll me, but so be it.

    We’ve connected Asheville back to the world! 🙌🏻

    North Carolina Receives Federal Major Disaster Declaration for North Carolina
    President Biden has granted Governor Roy Cooper’s request for a Federal Major Disaster Declaration for Tropical Storm Helene providing immediate federal help for 25 North Carolina counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

    President Biden has granted Governor Roy Cooper’s request for a Federal Major Disaster Declaration for Tropical Storm Helene providing immediate federal help for 25 North Carolina counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

    The declaration means that FEMA will be able to speed additional help to the state, and provide Individual Assistance to people living in those counties, as well as Public Assistance to reimburse local governments, state agencies, and non-profits or other eligible organizations for funds spent repairing facilities and infrastructure.

    “The people in western North Carolina are hurting from this devastating storm and we are all working to get resources to people as fast as we can,” said Governor Cooper. “We have deployed rescue teams, transportation crews, water, mobile kitchens and more. This is going to be a long-term recovery and this federal declaration will help us respond.”

    The counties in the declaration are Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yancey Counties as well as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. As response operations and eligible damages dictate, North Carolina may be able to add additional counties or programs as assessments move forward. This declaration will also provide Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding for future efforts to mitigate the impacts of future events.

    This declaration is in addition to the federal emergency declaration already in place prior to the impacts of Tropical Storm Helene.

    Read the declaration summary here.

    Comments like this are insane.

    No, there was no warning that North Carolina or Tennessee was going to be devastated in a mud flood along with landslides from #helene #tnwx #ncwx

    They were told they’d get 15 inches of rain. Then guess what happened? They said 30 inches, but then retracted the story and said “sorry, that was a glitch, won’t be that much.”

    Imagine saying this to someone who’s lost everything and doesn’t know if they’ll survive. “Well, you had warning” (when you didn’t)

    I live in the blue Ridge Ga area and we were spared devastation as the edge of Helene strafed us. There are good pages on Reddit to connect people with resources. I have not sent money yet as I am not sure where the org is trust worthy. Yesterday when I looked at reddit there was a presumed nurse reporting "100s" of bodies in the Mission Hospital morgue. That seems impossible (to have gathered so many deceased) as of that time.

    People who post outrageous negative untrue statements in a disaster are the WORST kind of troll. However, it COULD be possibly true according to someone on twitter that 20,000 people dead is not an outrageous number. Again, really unbelievable as it is so unthinkable. What is inescapable is that either nature or manipulation of weather is able to dismantle civilization is 24 hours.

    Having a bug out bag and prepping supplies only works if you know where to bug out TO and have a dry stable shelter FOR supplies. WHAT are we supposed to take away from ALL this havoc? I am taking away gratitude today that I have shelter and my animals are safe. It COULD change in a day. or LESS>

    There are some indications that people ARE self organizing and that is what we all must realize is our only strength against what looks like planned take down IMO.

    The fact that so many small towns have been washed out and roads, infrastructure destroyed plays us a song that sounds like Maui in a way. It is such a major disaster from Florida through eastern GA into Western NC and Tenn and South Carolina. So many hits in so many ways and at a time when winter is coming. I am planning to devote all my disposable income to supporting an organization trustworthy to deliver directly to people.

    If WE as a community with friends in this area help our friends, to me that would feel very satisfying. I wish we who are on the same page could be living close by. Here in my neighborhood, I wonder how we would fare if we had been directly hit with wind and rain as Helene delivered to other communities.

    I am so glad Mountain Jim has a home intact.

    This area on the agenda 21 map including my area, are shown as areas where people may not EVEN GO. Also, there ARE LARGE lithium deposits in the mountains near Asheville. Thanks as always we have this forum and I will post the resource gatherers I decide seem to be using funds for people and animals.

    More than 1,000 people have been reported unaccounted for in a devastated North Carolina county where 10 people have already been confirmed dead after Hurricane Helene, officials said Sunday.

    Authorities in Buncombe County reported the horrifying toll in an emergency meeting announcing emergency medical shelters and ongoing rescue efforts in areas almost overwhelmed by stormwater.

    They also announced a special website to appeal for help finding those unaccounted for — with “more than 1,000 reports so far,” one local official told the live-streamed meeting.

    1,000 people reported unaccounted for in North Carolina county hit hardest by Hurricane Helene

    More than 1,000 people have been reported unaccounted for in a devastated North Carolina county where 10 people have already been confirmed dead after Hurricane Helene, officials said Sunday.

    Authorities in Buncombe County reported the horrifying toll in an emergency meeting announcing emergency medical shelters and ongoing rescue efforts in areas almost overwhelmed by stormwater.

    They also announced a special website to appeal for help finding those unaccounted for — with “more than 1,000 reports so far,” one local official told the live-streamed meeting.

    “We’re doing the best we can,” Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller said of conditions making it almost impossible to reach the stranded due to collapsed roads, failing infrastructure and widespread flooding.

    Many of the unaccounted for are hoped to just be those without electricity and efforts to let loved ones know they are safe, officials said.

    However, the county, home to Asheville, already has 10 of the Tar Heel State’s 11 confirmed deaths — a terrible toll expected to soon rise, Gov. Roy Cooper conceded.

    “We know there will be more,” he said Sunday.

    Emergency response teams have rescued more than 40 people in the Ashville area, including an infant, thanks to a combination of 911 calls and pleas for help on social media, North Carolina Adjutant General Todd Hunt said.

    Critical supplies are being airlifted to stranded communities as crews scramble to clear roads and restore communication lines.

    As of Sunday afternoon, Helene has killed at least 60 people and left millions without power since the storm slammed into Florida on Thursday.

    Katie Pate of Fairfax, Virginia, posted a plea for help on X when she lost contact with her parents outside Asheville, North Carolina. This story, however, has a happy ending.

    “My dad called to tell me they were getting the generator set up, then after that, he was a ghost,” said Pate. “I was seeing just a steady stream of deterioration in western North Carolina, but all I could do was sit and wait.”

    After 24 hours of silence, Pate finally got them on the phone. She learned storm had knocked out power for most of the county, and where the roads weren’t flooded, they were covered in fallen trees. The couple, both 75, loaded a chainsaw into their pickup truck and cut a path to a nearby inn — the only place in town with cell service.

    “People don’t realize that even if you can get someone on the phone, you still can’t get to them. Everywhere is cut off,” Pate said. “You have to have a chainsaw to get anywhere. The asphalt in the roads is crumbling. The bridges are collapsing. It’s like a horror movie.”

    In Texas, Jessica Drye Turner begged for someone to rescue her family members stranded on their rooftop in Asheville, surrounded by rising flood waters. “They are watching 18 wheelers and cars floating by,” Turner wrote in an urgent Facebook post on Friday.

    But in a follow-up message, which became widely circulated on social media on Saturday, Turner said help had not arrived in time to save her parents, both in their 70s, and her six-year-old nephew. The roof had collapsed and the three drowned.

    “I cannot convey in words the sorrow, heartbreak and devastation my sisters and I are going through nor imagine the pain before us,” she wrote.

    "Hey y’all. I’m an employee at Ingles here in Burnsville,a town outside Asheville. I know a lot of you have questions about what the deal with us is so I’m gonna tell you everything that I know.

    Be in mind that some of this info may change without notice so take it with a grain of salt.
    STORE HOURS: For the foreseeable future our hours will be 8am - 5pm.
    Unfortunately all items in meat department and most items in frozen department are a total loss. I work in the produce department and for the most part we’ve been able to salvage as much as we could with really only the veggie bar where cut fruit and veggies daily is completely empty.
    To avoid chaos in the store we are only allowing a few customers at a time inside so people are tearing each other apart for some groceries so please be patient as we try to help as many people as we can.
    I know a lot of you are scared and confused. But please PLEASE remember to stay civilized as we continue to recover from this mess.
    When more information is available I will make a follow up post.
    Below are pictures of what it looks like at our store right now
    Thank you and may God bless you and may God bless Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee"
