Hopefully, the majority of the missing are just having communication issues and can't contact their loved ones.

However, I'm already seeing reports of bodies being found in trees and submerged vehicles.

My niece and her daughter are okay but miserable. "No water, no lights, no AC, no service, but otherwise okay".

A friend is making his way to them to take them back to his house.

Meanwhile, Biden is at the beach at Harris is in California at a fundraiser.

This is what the Democrat candidate for NC attorney general posted:

I’m hearing the main issue for Asheville right now is water. Their main treatment plant is out and it could be several days until it’s back online. No one is panicked, but it’s a clear and urgent priority. Lots of folks focused on this right now, but it’s still a problem.


“Hearing”? Has he not done any personal investigation as to what is happening in his state? “No one is panicked?” Hundreds of thousands of people are panicked!

“The main issue for Asheville right now is water”??? Yeah, most of the town is under water! Forget the water treatment plant for the time being. It may be under water as well.

Talk about missing the issue. This guy is clueless.

Right now there are people missing, roads washed away, and homes under water, and he “hears” that the main problem is the water treatment plant is “out”.

How disconnected from the voters and their urgent issues can one person possibly be?

It took me well over 36 hours to find out where and how my friend Perri is due to the cell towers down, general chaos and confusion.

She lived mere yards from the river and lost everything.

She has nothing now but her two dogs.

I have no idea how to help her.

A friend of my daughter was at an arts and crafts center in western NC and was supposed to stay for several more days when they released them early Thursday ahead of the hurricane. She took off as soon as she was packed but many decided to wait until Friday morning to leave. They are stuck there now.

The Biltmore House could shelter many of these frightened, homeless people. Have they opened its doors yet?

This is an example of how you should have a communications plan for a SHTF situation. If these people had small ham radios, a bit of wire, and a battery they could be communicating with the world.

Setting up web site is useless if you dont have a computer connected to the internet.

Finally got power back on.

Hopefully, most of them are having issues due to power outage and the fact that the cell phone network is down.

Army buddy of mine who lives near Greenville, SC, said he drove 11mi to finally get a internet signal. He posted that he and the misses were fine but “I wasn’t prepared. Hell, NOBODY was prepared because this just doesn’t happen here”.

Said his town was “shredded”.

It’s time for the federal government to step in and give everybody fifty dollars or something.

Glad they are getting help. We have a huge hole in our roof. In our neighborhood 6 homes were structurally damaged. We are one of them. The rest look like nothing happened.
