Hurricane Helene

[shaberon]

I was able to get this from The Indy in an article about someone with a truck:

On Monday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced it has deployed 200 ambulances and 10 federal search and rescue teams to affected areas. President Biden is expected to travel to the region on Wednesday and Congress and the North Carolina state legislature are likely to pass special disaster relief funding.

Shelter operators that Schaefer-Old has been able to make contact with, in Helene’s aftermath, describe the situation as “dire.”

You have to read it between the lines. Yes, just by implication, "dire" is very much along the lines that more people will expire for more reasons, beginning immediately, and there will be looting and violence. Local articles seem to stick to telling us Asheville is seriously messed up and there have been deaths. This is too big, it's like a free pass for the Grim Reaper with a lot of stuff that's going to be really tough to beat.

I may be able to find if dirt like is said about Chimney Rock is happening. I'm not sure.


While this is true about Gaston County:

Piedmont Lithium is a mining company currently in the process of proving economic mineral recovery of lithium in Gaston County. After five years of surface prospecting, the company began drilling many sample cores in 2021 across 2,300 acres (930 ha) of land it owns or has mineral rights to the county proving economic viability of mining lithium for the boom in battery demand to support electric vehicle and other uses.



It's not in the mountains. It's not heavily damaged.

Many reports like this emerging. A horror. 5 minutes:

Biden's White House has used FEMA money (Federal Emergency Management Agency) as a slush fund for illegal immigrants and they are holding back approval of additional funds unless they get more money for Ukraine.

FEMA Money Is for Disaster-Stricken Americans, Not Those Here Illegally

Federal spending is hard enough to keep track of at the best of times, but the Biden administration is highly adept at hiding how they fund their open-borders agenda. In a cynical budget negotiation tactic, the White house is now trying to push through a $40 billion “supplemental” funding bill that holds bailout money for FEMA hostage to sending billions more to Ukraine with insufficient accountability.

It gets worse. If the White House tactic works, and Congress coughs up enough aid to Ukraine that rescue money for FEMA can get through, hundreds of millions of that funding won’t go to disaster-afflicted Americans, but to providing housing, food, health care and transportation for illegal immigrants through grants to activist NGOs and “sanctuary” cities.

FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program is already being siphoned for over $332 million “to assist communities receiving noncitizens released from custody,” which means housing migrants here illegally at the border, then transporting them to places like New York City. New York has been promised $104 million from this pot, though at a burn rate of $8 million a day, it won’t last long. Big city mayors gripe about a few buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, but the main train delivering migrants to their sidewalks is driven by DHS, using FEMA money.

Piedmont Lithium looks like a corporation to watch. My initial thought was it might have ties to the military. Just an FYI, a quick look at piedmontlithium.com includes this info about one Board member:

"Ms. Hickton has served as a member of our Board since March 2024. She currently serves as the Chair and CEO of Cumberland Additive, Inc., a metal additive manufacturer of solutions for the aerospace, defense, energy, and space markets. Ms. Hickton also serves as a member of the National Space Council User’s Advisory Group, which is chaired by the Vice President of the United States to enable and propel America’s space objectives."
