This is a tough message to write, because we’ve all heard so much about this topic, and it’s nearly impossible to get a straight answer from government officials or internet searches. I’m talking about the devastation in Appalachia from Hurricane Helene.
I’ve followed this story from the beginning and put together a file of information that I found to be valid and confirmed. So, what I’m about to share with you is what we know, and much of this comes directly from people who are, or have been, in the area — either residents of the area or those from other parts who have participated in rescue, cleanup and directly helping survivors.
Hurricane Helene was a huge, catastrophic tropical cyclone that made landfall on September 26 in Northwestern Florida. It then moved inland, causing devastation in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. Three hours after striking central Georgia, the storm abruptly turned northwest and hit the Appalachian Mountains with 180-mile-per-hour winds. This, after dumping huge amounts of rainfall on the area for approximately three days prior. Rainfall in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina ranged from one foot to over three feet in three days, causing unprecedented flooding and landslides.
At this time, I cannot get an accurate death count. It’s unlikely we ever will. Government agencies are simply stating it was more than 230 people killed in total — in four states. Locals in North Carolina, however, report the number in that state alone is in the thousands, perhaps in the tens of thousands. Many, if not most of the bodies of those killed will never be recovered, buried under 30 feet of mud from landslides, after being torn apart and washed away.

The Stand?
Have you seen the Pendragon production of The War of the Worlds?
It’s the most true to the book, but the production was so budget crimped as to make it practically unwatchable!
That is very rugged and remote country, landslides galore...watch the vids posted on that Conservative Treehouse thread I mentioned...draw your own conclusions. (They DID find my neighbors’ Lexus buried in the mud next to the Erwin Hospital yesterday...nearly TWO MONTHS after The Flood.)
Similar to East Tennessee and North Carolina...media pimps FEMA, but it is a dirty word in the minds of the victims.
I seem to recall that one...a real stinker, IIRC...
The corporation owners of these utilities that had accounts with the people who used the destroyed utilities will be tracking who is paying and who is not! Follow the money or the lack of collections of the moneys and you will get a notion as to who might be dead or missing. You look for the owners of the accounts not showing activity. It is inexact but a welfare check could be done to ascertain the whereabouts of the owners of such accounts. Many of the living who have utility accounts they can no longer use, will have called these utility corporations to cancel their accounts, especially if there were on going direct bank withdrawals going on monthly.
Besides I mentioned other methods that can be used in concert together to ascertain the numbers of dead or missing.
Federal agencies like the IRS and the Social Security Admin could set up a “proof of life” hot line..were they competently led for those suspected of being dead, to call in to establish proof of life.
The unemployed can be parsed from the dead when their social security numbers pop up again as active in the system...ie registering for unemployment due to disaster related loss of job, applications for relief or if such people find another job and enter the work force again and if their bank accounts show recent vs no activity over past 6 weeks.
The dead cannot be truly hidden if their social security numbers and the accounts they are attached to show no activity versus the ssn’s of those who are still alive. Lack of activity in bank accounts of those persons missing in that area will also stand out like a sore thumb!
It will not be exact but a study of such activity will show the scale of the numbers of the missing and the dead!
Agreed, but the final number won’t be released during the biden/harris regime.
No...but it makes the numbers easier to parse and to track...plus in combinations of other methods the scale of the numbers of the missing and dead can be ascertained and adjusted...hopefully downward as people are confirmed as alive vs missing or dead!
You are focused on one part of the methods I have suggested...the lack of activity of either hundreds or thousands of bank accounts based in that region is probably the best EARLY indicator of the scale who might be still alive, dead or missing.
The IRS is fanatic about making sure white Republicans are paying their fair shares and are not defrauding them. Missing moneys from with-holding accounts will be tracked as will non filing of tax forms next spring. They will be able to track and measure large scale anomalous numbers of missing forms and moneys coming from that area fairly quickly!
If Mr and Mrs X had been filing forms and suddenly they are not and their bank account has been sitting idle, it will be noted eventually.
Yup...bastards! And they’ll try to blame Trump for lack of progress in the region after just 1 day in office! I am not exaggerating! Okay may be a little bit!
I’ll bet any of us can get the truth by contacting Samaritan’s Purse. They have been on the ground since the beginning providing all sorts of aid.
If Trump gets in there and does a great job rebuilding western N.C. it will be huge maybe JD could get the ball rolling with Mark Robinson.NC needs help now.
Trump faces a huge problem in 60 days. The Federal government is so corrupt and Communist infiltrated that cleaning house may be impossible. FEMA must be thoroughly investigated and possibly dismantled. All those who refused to help people who had Trump signs, attempted to commandeer supplies from private sources, or bullied and threatened the hurrvictims must be prosecuted.
As we serve our neighbors in Western North Carolina,
here are our donation and volunteer needs.
So American citizens and their children can freeze to death when winter comes in Appalachia. Cheap tents won't keep out the cold.
American citizens are going to die.
The women who run FEMA are filled with hate - they want conservative children to die. The worst hit areas are 'RED' and those people voted for Trump after-all. FEMA doesn't care. Same reason press bimbos at the New York Times and Washington Post aren't covering this story. Bimbos with as much hate in their hearts as FEMA bimbos... all quiet on the Western front. Time to end FEMA and create a new organization of first responders.
The deep state is happy red state citizens are hurting - these powerless Americans voted for Trump. Besides, powerless American citizens can't give kickbacks like Ukraine. So send a few billion more to Ukraine ... and tell these citizens to stfu and die quietly.
A great deal of that land will no longer be usable for building roads, homes or business. But people will adapt. I am basing what I said on comments by Cooper. To be fair Cooper may have been referring to buying up land no longer habitable. After Coopers speech, an article appeared about the area destroyed in Hawaii. Government took control of the land. Some commentators felt that was Coopers intent. People who live in Appalachia generally want to live there (cannot blame them) and will want to rebuild. They are not going to sell out.
To anyone concerned about information coming out re: The Flood...we were just informed by a relief agency that TEMA is doling out FALSE INFO regarding the status of people’s homes...they are NOT reporting that there are ANY missing homes at my address. What the f*****g f***??? The house (and the two story home next door are GONE!! Where did TEMA get this BS info??? This was NOT a remote location...it is right adjacent to Interstate 26...just drive by and LOOK!
There are MORE links like this on that Conservative Treehouse thread, and we need MORE of them. Donations to Christian organizations; NOT Red Cross, United Way, and such. They are GRIFTERS!
You still have a memorial service.
Ask the survivors of Lahaina Maui about no news coverage that could embarrass democrats.
