I just spent 4 days stranded in Swannanoa with several other people. What this lady says is, for the most part, exactly what I personally witnessed. I was fortunately able to get out yesterday morning and go to my brothers in Winston Salem. People (individuals in the community) were helping people. Not one government official, or even one of hundreds of police we saw pass by, offered water food or even checked on us. Not one time in those 4 days....not once. We had an 80 year old retired school teacher that had been visiting from New Jersey with us.... And, if there was a FEMA representative around, we never saw them.”
Joe Biden actually one time said if you want to prepare for a hurricane, get vaccinated. Clip here.

I dread to imagine the dead animals, livestock, horses…and I truly can not process or “understand” how people were scarcely warned and not told to evacuate until it was too late.
I read a post on Facebook by a woman who drove to Asheville and saw bodies strewn everywhere, people, wild animals, pets, and she said initially she thought they were Halloween props. If I can find it I will post it.

I live 20 miles northwest of Boone, NC and two miles from the TN border. No county government officials cleared the roads or helped anyone outside city limits (I couldn't get into town for a couple days, so I didn't know what it was like in Boone). Yesterday in NC, county road crews were finally out pushing downed trees that had been cut by regular people off the shoulder of the roads. My 92 year old neighbor has never seen anything like this.
My spouse and I were fortunate - downed trees, minor flooding in our basement. Some of our goats were close to our creek that flooded and were up to their bellies in their house (goats hate even walking in water) and we got them out to wander in the yard and on our porch until the water went down.
Houses, animals, small churches, and parts of road all washed away. We had heavy rain a day or two before the hurricane, so the forest was 'primed' for destruction. There are still limbs falling and trees crashing. Everything is still wet and it's so humid. I tried handwashing clothes a couple days ago and they are finally dry today.
I got cell service, finally, two hours ago. Still no power, but I have a gravity fed cistern and propane so I have hot water and a stove top to cook on. Three volunteers from Winston-Salem are up here all week removing trees from driveways and cut up six big ones on mine (it's a long drive and steep). I am so thankful! Today is the best day I've had in a while! Morale is getting low around here
in our rural area.
