    THE STORMS OF LIFE -2024??
    Helene hit like an atom bomb
    Consuming the helpless in its path.
    The waters of the deep surged forth
    Flooding everything with their wrath.
    The storms of life come to everyone
    There are none who are immune.
    Some approach in our later years
    While others come too soon.
    Conviction is our emotional union
    As we weather the storms of Earth.
    Thank God for His amazing grace
    Which helps us reveal our worth.
    Tears are a love-mates humble gift
    When it's time to say goodbye
    Though the eyes are wet and swollen
    With time and patience they dry.

      Gee, could you be just a little more uncaring??? The topography in western NC, GA, TN is vastly different from Louisiana. Louisiana has never experienced the shear volume of water coming down through the mountains. TN DOT estimated 103,000 cubic gallons of water per second vs 70,000 from Niagara falls. There are no vast areas of marsh land to collect and drain water like in Louisiana. They do not have flood insurance because these were not mapped as flood zones so each and everyone will be fighting with insurance. Like migrants many will have to move and start completely over. It is so unfortunate you don't care. I lived through this same event in 1999 in ENC. My situation was minor compared to this. 4 mths waiting on a list to get insurance guy to the house. Fighting insurance for months because of wind damage. Having to prove straight line winds came through the neighborhood. I hope it never happens to you. But maybe it has and that why u r so jaded
