Appalachia Needs Help – This Is Real
New American Prophet ^ | November 20, 2024 | Rob Pue

Posted on 11/20/2024 5:02:36 AM PST by Rev M. Bresciani

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.

You still have a memorial service.
_____________________________
I think it’s seven years to get a declaration and certification of death for a missing person in the U.S. So closure is going to be a long process. A memorial service does not equate to a presumption of death. However, most of these deep rural communities know everybody in their community and their history with regard to just disappearing so I’m thinking in time the number of dead will be fairly accurate. The Youtube video which I posted earlier today ‘Hurricane from Hell’ showed the use of cadaver dogs to find the dead and the woman being interviewed on video said dog alert flags had been posted on the mud piles/flats along the gullies. I heard on the radio tonight that the a number of Amish have arrived to build mini-houses for the homeless for the winter.

Amish were there a week ago. My son was working there a week ago for a mission project. Asheville has a huge homeless population and they are transitory. It’s not uncommon for homeless people to be “missing”.

I expect Trump knows and has not stopped working on a priority list of things and people that need serious attention in the government and so many related tentacles - antifa, blm, gangs, hollywood, higher education, etc.

I would not be surprised, in fact I expect the majority (estimated between 1/4 to 1/2 million) of deep state traitors have already been identified and even in some cases apprehended through military intelligence.
