More than 230 people have been killed from Hurricane Helene, which unleashed devastation across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

Helene, which made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region last week as a massive Category 4 hurricane, has become the deadliest mainland hurricane since Katrina in 2005.

There’s another 30,000 caravan making its way to our borders and picking up steam. So I’m figuring between 40 to 50,000 when they make land fall to our soil! Trump‘s team should make a beeline to the border and record the massive amount of illegal invaders coming through our open border and make a huge ad circulating every TV station and every rally. These are the last terrorists invading army caravans groups infiltrating our nation. Like Trump said those are armies marching through our border who will war with us in our own soil. Be ready for 9/11 style terrorist attacks etc. etc. You’re looking at 23 million invaders. And there is no way in hell with the media pukes and the radical POS left-wing communist rat party interfering in the deportations. They’re here to stay whether we like it or not.

More money from FEMA to house and take care of those incoming invaders to our nation. Remember America LAST is the rats motto!

Trump and JD should both go to the border to validate the situation in a way that the MSM cannot ignore..............

That's the "official" death toll.

Communist/totaliarian governments always lie about such things...

The general rule of thumb is casualties are understated by a factor of 10X.

Believe me when I tell you by the time they reach the border it’ll be between 30 to 40,000! I’m talking spread out through the whole border system!

This is weaponized weather.

We lived through a deluge in Iowa, South Dakota, and Wisconsin this past summer. Chemtrails formed everywhere in all directions that looked like hotdogs in a package.

The clouds appear like jet vapor, but expand, cloud out the sky. The clouds have flat bottoms that turn dark and billow up. The hotdog-like formations are still visible on the bottom of the clouds.

Torrential rain and extreme flooding soon followed.

Were those Chinese weather balloons measuring air currents as they crisscrossed the nation multiple times???

I live right outside Asheville. When I drive through my community I see mattresses and furnishings on the curb. The need is real. Politicizing a tragedy is what Marxists do. Help is required. Our 15 foot hole in the roof is fixed. We were extremely blessed our flooded room was a spare bedroom.
There is zero data available at home.
Politicizing this is like the people who drove by our homes and posted our disaster on you tube
They didn’t come back with chainsaws, or even helping hands or a hot meal.
This area gets a hurricane effect every ten years or so and they still won’t fix the problems. I live in a red county. Flood control, not.

We’ve been through Hurricanes David ‘79, Elena ‘85, Erin ‘95, Opal ‘95, Ivan ‘04, Dennis ‘05 and numerous Tropical Storms and near misses. Witnessed the destruction of Michael in ‘18 in Panama City, a Cat 5, and it was horrendous. People who do not live near the coastal plain are totally unaware of the danger...................

My son’s house is in Candler. He’s currently working in Nevada (he’s a contract worker). A friend sent him pictures of his house. The house is fine but his driveway is toast. So he has no idea how he will get home when this job is done.

Wait till the fedgov idiots see this and close it because it might be unsafe.

There are hundreds of people out all day and night cleaning up. Candler is a neighborly community. I suspect he will be okay. If not. Freepmail me. I
