In the wake of biblical-level devastation left by Hurricane Helene this last week, fatalities have soared over 200, more than 1000 people are unaccounted for, and severe flooding has washed out towns, roads and bridges from Florida to North Carolina, the hardest-hit state. Whole communities have been without necessities like water, power, cell phone service, and food for nearly a week. Some residents are trapped in mountainside homes with no way to communicate with emergency personnel. This is an ongoing disaster of epic proportions.
One resident of Fairview, a suburb of Asheville NC, said “the heavens came down” with the hurricane. “It was incomprehensible, what we witnessed, as it relates to the magnitude it was,” reported a Charlotte City councilman. “[I]t was truly something that you really can’t even visualize unless you see it.”
In true American style, civilian volunteers, many from out of state, have leapt into action to locate and assist survivors. Their heroic efforts stand in sharp contrast to an absent federal government that has no clear leadership. Decrepit, deposed President Joe Biden belatedly issued a statement about sending in a too-little, too-late force of a thousand Army servicemembers. Kamala Harris, who is worthless under the best of circumstances, has been busy salvaging her campaign after running mate Tim “Not Ready for Prime Time” Walz’s catastrophic performance in Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. So no one in the White House is available, or cares enough, to help Americans in dire need.

The FEDs only care about getting as many illegals in to vote for the CPDA (Communist Party Democrats of America)
So do we lose NC? How are those folks going to vote? And did the Civil War begin in NC? Just questions I have this week.
Teams inserted by helicopters will need to check a huge number of dwellings. Personally, I haven’t heard a peep out of our esteemed governor Cooper.
Elect Harris and watch it happen nationwide.
The Sheriff’s are the ones doing the confiscating.
I live in Charlotte. My sense is that Trump-Vance will win NC handily. As for how the folks in Western NC will be able to vote, it will mostly have to be the old fashioned way of showing up at early voting places and on Election Day. Local officials have committed to getting polls open for early voting and Election Day.
Early voting in NC starts Oct. 17. The entire population of Western NC is about 1.2 million. Asheville is the biggest city in the disaster area, but it only has a population of about 95,200. The remaining population is scattered in towns and villages across the area. Most of them will vote Republican.
On FEMA orders,but no more...
