Four days later and zero FEMA relief sites? Where are Brandon/Harris? Why is no one asking questions?
I must say it’s interesting that 30 inches of rain fell in one hour on the sodomy capital of the eastern US. But Asheville is surrounded by deep red counties, and many, many towns have been wiped out. Don’t be surprised to see the death toll into the thousands. -nvp
Asheville NC floods: While no government aid distribution sites are up, one nonprofit steps up
By Will Hofmann September 30,2024
ASHEVILLE – While Buncombe County had not yet set up aid distribution stations in the aftermath of the historic floods from Tropical Storm Helene, one nonprofit had taken it into their own hands — soliciting another national nonprofit to send aid.
Asheville Dream Center brought aid to the Asheville Mall on Sept. 29, likely becoming the first mass aid distribution site for necessities in the city. The nonprofit is the local arm of the nonprofit national Dream Center outreach ministry. The nonprofit Global Empowerment Mission was the first to respond to their call to distribute aid in the city, Asheville Dream Center Executive Director Michelle Coleman said…
“We really don’t know how long the water is going to be out,” Michelle Coleman said. “I went through the line here, and I talked to so many people and their fear is how long. Is it two weeks? Is it more than a month?”
I’ve watched the community come together out here. It’s encouraging one another and it’s building hope,” Michelle Coleman said. “We need that right now.”
We remember the days when there was no thought at all about what our government did during a tragedy such as a natural disaster or weather event. No delay, no thought at all about politics, the networks stayed on the event relentlessly, our political leaders (and they were leaders) were right out there talking about the situation, how it was going to be staged, how help was going to reach our people and start the recovery process. Americans helped, we contributed to the Red Cross or other organizations, we did food drives and clothing drives, we cared! Now a major disaster like what is happening in North Carolina happens, and where the hell is our president and vice president?? She wants to “lead”? Where is she?? This is unbelievable. She wore a $64,000 necklace to the border. These people don’t care one iota about the average American. So many failures in the last few years, so many. Our leadership is a JOKE. God help the people of North Carolina and the region. Our hearts are with you, you’re in our prayers. GOP, make sure the people of NC can get ballots so they aren’t unable to vote.
This is much worse than Katrina and if that’s raaacissstttt!!! I really don’t give a damn. Please pray for the poor white people (oh yes, I did just say that!) in these remote, forgotten towns in the NC mountains. What’s happened there is apocalyptic on an Akita scale.
