#3 Those NC people are mostly MAGA, no sense wasting good fungible FEMA dollars on them. If they were not MAGA people before Helene they damn sure are now.

Thank you Biden-Harris for showing your hand.

#6 So how the heck are they going to vote next month? No access to poling stations, no power to power them anyway.

#12 A lot of hippies in Asheville, last I looked. If they believe Helene was caused by global warming, then they are still in the Harris camp.

I suspect the usual urban vs rural divide.

#16 I just searched for "national guard delivers relief supplies" and found several NC articles. I can't post from my kindle...

#17 We are at exposure and dehydration days. If there is a sliver of silver, it isn't summer or winter?

Suddenly all those 'Kooks' who remember The Olde Ways are in demand.

What is the rule of thumb, 3 days without water and society starts fraying? The view of power usage before and after is chilling.

I'm hearing stories, unconfirmed, so not sourcing, but Bless the Responders, especially The Volunteers*, if even half true.

*A few weeks back, it was mentioned that Volunteer Response Agencies were about to be buried in paperwork? Just pointing out the bureaucracy of it all, at the least.
