Hurricane Helene

[Ravenlocke]

We’re now delivering hot pizzas to NC State Police and flood victims near Asheville, which
@ChrisHallWx
hauled in from 60 miles away.

This is the first hot, fresh meal these folks—INCLUDING STATE TROOPERS—have had in DAYS.

What’s going on out here is an absolute TRAVESTY. It needs to be called out all over the country.

The federal government is WORTHLESS.

Please share! Newport, TN. The French broad river has overflown into the town. They are currently in a state of emergency. This town is very small around 7,000 total population. Many live under the poverty level. It is going to take them a long time to recover from this

A message from Lebanon Lifesaving Crew:

The Lebanon Lifesaving Crew station will be open for the public to use the shower facilities from 3pm-8pm today (Sunday, Sept 29).
Bottled water will be available, as well as access to charge electronics. (Please BYO charger)

We have one shower stall for males and one for females, there is likely to be a wait. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner will be available, but we do not have towels or wash cloths. Please bring your own. Unfortunately we do not have handicap accessible facilities at this time.

Also, EMS is depleting the available portable oxygen tanks more quickly than we are able to replenish. If anyone has unused oxygen cylinders they would like to donate to Russell County Emergency Management, please reach out.

Here are a few steps patients can take prior to calling 911 if it is not an active emergency (patients who are running out of oxygen immediately, experiencing difficulty breathing, or experiencing a life or limb threatening health emergency should call 911 immediately)

1- Reach out to relatives with electricity to see if they can temporarily accommodate the patient so home oxygen units can be utilized until electricity is restored.

2- Contact your home oxygen supply company and make them aware of the situation and to determine if oxygen is available through your company.

3- Please be aware that EMS agencies will respond to 911 calls but we can not guarantee the availability of portable oxygen cylinders. Patients can be transported to the hospital for oxygen administration in case of emergency.

Our crews have been working around the clock along with many other agencies and first responders to care for patients. We extend our sincere appreciation to those working to provide care and restore our community.

Pearson, GA was badly hit by Hurricane Helene—the storm destroyed roofs, downed trees, and left residents without water or electricity. WCK teams were the first to reach the community, bringing sandwiches and bottled water while determining how to next support people in need. #ChefsForGeorgia

I found nothing.

I worked on about an hour of sleep, which is not such a big deal, but there wasn't any reaction. Instead, everyone was doing the Same Thing. I kept turning in circles until I became disoriented, and it was like sailing off into space, because no one said anything. I mentioned it to one person I work with and they were like "yeah that's bad" and that was it. No, I don't have a single moment to wander to the office and say it myself, so now when I work nights there won't be anyone anyway, so I can't really do anything, except watch and see if nothing continues to happen.

Maybe I missed something, especially if they do it like the Food Bank, I wouldn't be able to tell. Certainly nothing came to my attention. For ten hours.

This is way beyond what the Tar River does, and, on a local level, is probably the worst damage I have ever heard of. Katrina was perhaps worse but that is kind of far away. This almost cleaned our clock, too, and I failed to detect any public response. I will see if the farm store is doing anything tomorrow.

I was reading here a few members of PA was affected by this hurricane, I hope and pray for you all to be fine and overcome all this situation as soon as possible. God bless.


@Ravenloke posted above about the WCK, the emergency food relief, do you know 7 of their team that was working in Gaza was killed by those Israelis bastards. It may be a bit off-topic. How much ****ed up this world can get?

Where is FEMA? Harris? Biden?

Just like East Palestine, Ohio!

Is FEMA now weaponized?

Hurricane Helene shellac's the Southeast, where is FEMA and where were the warnings?

—Colonel (Retired) John Mills

Nothing in the Federal Government appears to be working. Hurricane Helene has hit several Southeast states very hard. Unanticipated floods are everywhere and thousands are missing. Social media is the best way to learn what is going on and who needs help where.

This begs the question of where is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)? Their national Emergency Operations Center is close to L'Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C. Was it staffed up? Did it give the proper alerts? Was this Hurricane not a priority since it was hitting Red States?

With the Harris Team, no insidious action is off the table.

It’s heartbreaking to see this devastation.

I agree the government is not real effective in these dire situations.

When we lost power for a couple of weeks from multiple state-wide tornados, it was the people who organized relief for their neighbors. Restaurants opened up, cooked and served food from their freezers and gave it away.

Radio stations broadcast where to get hot food and clean water, who had petrol for sale, and told us where the action was.
