I was going to ashville from florida...GODs will took me to this community and old fort....i worked 4 days with other vollenters. ...THESE PEOPLE ARE AWSOME ..they worked together to help one another ...I WAS HONOURED TO SEE TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT....UNITED WE STAND...
My son's house was flooded with 4 feet of water in 2018 from hurricane Florence on the east coast of NC. It was the same. Volunteers like you came from all over to help. The communities really came together and supporter each other.
PTSD is going to be a problem for everyone in Bat Cave. Was there three weeks ago and was amazed at the destruction, heartbreaking is putting it mildly. It's a great community and my wife and myself pray for them everyday.
I am 73 years old. I was raised up in this area. Owned property on Lake Lure. My family sold out during the early 70s, Back then there was just about 20 young people from us say from 16 to mid 20s. People that was born there. The closest police station was in Rutherfordton better than 20 miles away. Then all the big money and outsiders started buying everything and taking over the local politics. That's when we sold out. Couldn't afford to live or put up with the bullcrap. I feel for the people that live there. I live probably 40 miles from there now and haven't been there in the last 25 years.
The Milagro Beanfield War movie lays the story out on locals overrun by outside money for Northern New Mexico. Like others have said it’s all across the country--
The only reason they could run this report from Bat Cave was that WV coal miners built an expedient road to allow regular vehicles to travel in and out of there. The government abandoned those people for the most part. I live in Fletcher right above the airport. I am a USAF veteran. They didn't send any logistical, civil engineering, or medical units here. Not even a single C-17. This never happened since the founding of FEMA. Similar hurricanes like Katrina and Maria resulted in 10,000 - 15,000 troops, especially the civil engineering and medical units we never had. This is why everything is still broken and there is still debris everywhere. I don't know how to tell you all this without getting censored or gaslighted by Harris supporters. This is the biggest crime I ever saw in my life and I can't figure out for the life of me why they did it when they had to know it would cost them the election. Forget the woo woo theories. They withheld the very military units we needed and American citizens died waiting for rescue that was never sent. Most rescues were effected by veterans in civilian helicopters at great private expense that FEMA has made no effort to repay. And don't forget FEMA is still sitting on over 70 billion dollars in illegal slush fund money according to a DHS OIG report issued just last August. They have the ability to at least pay for civilian contractors to do what Biden admin refused to deploy the military to do (which was Biden's constitutional duty). Also note that the democrats defending FEMA here got their $750. I am registered independent: denied: So are most conservatives as I understand it. The truth is buried right there in your bs story.
The State deploys the National Guard. Not FEMA. And the State Republicans stalled on declaring a disaster area after the Dem Governor asked them. Also they stalled for a week to declare funds and just passed the third funding last week. You were in the Military and still don't understand how things work? And that woman said a Blackhawk evacuated her day after storm - Government Helicopter.
I lived in that area for 3yrs and nothing is ever what it seems at face value! Don't judge a book by it's cover! There is definitely a very dark side to the hills and it involves the government, law enforcement and people with clout!
@@warmsunnytoday4535 Appalachia has low education, low health services, high poverty rates & terrible opoid & other drug epidemics in the USA!! And don't forget the looters were local, preying on their neighbors!!
Are you here? There's been a lot help from of both. Government (from local - to federal) has been awesome. So have neighbors. Amazing how much a disaster like this can cut through the red vs blue B.S.
You and your fellow "gubmint" hating conservo aholes can knock it off with the BS lies and conspiracy theories now. You got your orange clown in place for another 4 years of lying so you've accomplished your mission. Pat yourself on the back and STFU while well meaning people and ,yes, government agencies do their jobs. These regions are going to recover over a period of years, not days.
Most of the local relief is the responsibility of the local & state govts. The Federal govt deals mainly with the infrasturcture-- bridges, highways, hospitals, schools ect. Why didn't each county beforehand make sure county emergency headquarters with generators would be around right after the storm??
@@leocatz You watch. All of these "gubmint" haters will praise the living hell out of the feds as soon as Trump takes office. He'll tell them America is (suddenly) great again and they'll lap it up like candy canes from heaven.
WBTV: "We asked the Government, and they told us that they did great, they saved everybody in no time at all, and they don't understand why anybody would ever say they did otherwise."🙄 WV coal miners build 10 mile long new road in a river bed, faster than the DOT can build 1 bridge. Good job, Government.
Looks like they built a dirt road. The bridge looks like an actual trucks can drive over it. Both did a part. Rebuilding regular roads the government will still be needed.
Those RUclipsrs are the real media ! that’s also where so much monies are coming in. If not for them I wouldn’t have even known, no one I know knew about this and if they did they did not understand what and why it’s so catastrophic. The only misinformation is that fema is there to help. They manage it. They’ll send you a bill.
People who disliked the government previously, found even more reasons to make up wild, untrue stories because of Helene... More rational people acknowledge that dealing with one of the worst storms in history has been difficult, especially in mountainous terrain, but that both government and private charities are doing their best to help....
The ONLY testimony Ive heard of someone receiving $ from FEMA. Ive heard many saying they were denied, didnt receive anything yet, ocodidnt have the means, at that time to apply. Never heard anyone say they got a dime.
I got my initial $750 hardship payment. I was initially denied because I didn't check "Do you need food?" box. After week with no power I did. So I called and they checked the box for me. Was approved that day.
I got denied. But some people I work with got the $750. My basement had a foot of water in it. They said they would come inspect, and 3 weeks later, they denied us without an inspection. That's been my experience. I just spent out of pocket per usual. What's new. We could have had it a whole lot worse. I can appeal but I am only out a couple thousand. I don't want the hassle, and a church gave us $500, and that helped a lot. There are plenty who need housing, though now. I wish they would help them.
@@Itsmeagain828 Just a heads up. I initially didn't check the box that asked if I needed food. That was one of the main factors deciding immediate aid. After two weeks no power I then needed food. I called back after getting denied and woman on the phone went back and checked the box for me in system. I was approved that day. Follow up.
@@Itsmeagain828 Make sure you checked off the box for "Do you need food?" I didn't initially but after getting denied I called and FEMA agent checked the box. I was approved that day. $750 Emergency Payment.
@@Itsmeagain828 You needed to check "Do you need food?" box to qualify for initial Emergency $750. Heads up. Main reason denied. We all lost food. You can call back and they can go in and check the box for you. I got approved after I did this.
It’s not misinformation when some people are getting helped and others aren’t. It’s a fact there are people there who are not getting help and there’s people there who are so it ain’t got anything to do with any misinformation.
There are plenty of disasters going on now; it seems like a new one is hitting every week (or less.) Volunteer for one of these disasters, with a church or something, BEFORE the government takes over. You'll experience first hand how real relief efforts are stopped by government agencies and corporations, they steal everything, allow volunteers to do the work for them under their control (and volunteers get completely frustrated that they can't really help anyone anymore,) and then take all the credit for any help the people do receive. They just want their money, and they will make sure that only the bare minimum is done to keep the funding rolling in. "Disaster relief" is a massive business, with insane profits; they will not waste those profits helping people. You don't have to stress about "rumors;" you'll see it for yourself.
@tammyh.8454, just because one gets likes only proves that others need a dictionary as well. Your orange lord and savior says quite a bit of things. MOST of which are lies. Doesn't stop others who think he is literally almost the Second Coming of Christ. One lie in particular your will definitely learn the hard way. The one about tariffs and who pays them. Too bad y'all never looked up the definition of that. People are already losing Christmas bonuses and 400 in Detroit are already being laid off just in anticipation of them. Another example is the American Care Act being the same thing as Obama Care. The last is trump claiming to be a Christian. As a Christian myself I could never vote for anyone who wants to "date" his own daughter. Do not pretend to not know exactly what that REALLY MEANS. Teri Woolum Lefevers.
Bottom line is they are getting help. The rumor mill always runs and understandably emotions are running high. God bless those folks and everyone who is helping in anyway they can!
Where do you live. I'm guessing not from around here. FEMA and DHS is doing nothing but completely complicating everything. The LOCALS are helping each other.
This is the perfect example of social media reporting. But I would say this. Even without social media and computers for that matter there were news teams (journalist) that instead of reporting an unbiased product would sensationalize and ask leading questions to fit their narrative. So things haven't changed that much in the last 40 years. It's just 24/7 regurgitation of the worst kind. Mountain people help each other.
Bad communication, lack of knowledge of what disaster agencies do and who does what, plus a general anti government bias made things worse. Usually, there aren't a bunch of groups with little or no contact wirh the state created confusion and conflict by lack of clearance and cobtact.
The misinformation on social media, the "bad" actors, are there folks motivated by profit coming down there to profit? With the platforms the "content" creators use to profit could there be lawsuits in the works? I guess we'll see. Praise to all the people helping people in these affected areas post Helene. Good on you folks. Bravo!
When I drove up Rt. 26 yesterday, I stopped in a hotel in Morganton, NC. I got one of the last rooms available.The hotel was full of National Guard, Fema and Linesmen from other states. In the morning, they were all going out to do more work in the area, not checking out. The woman at the front desk said they'd been there for weeks. I saw them with my own eyes.
I can see this was a very difficult article to do and hard to understand but I think most people get the picture. Reality is the huge variation in levels of loss. Some will never recover. Lost everything and some not so much and young enough to handle it. So sad.
What about the woman filming a sheriff in Bat Cave with the sheriff ready to take her kids. I would like to know name of the deputy. He had a red hair short beard and mustache and wears glasses.
This saddens me. Rebuilding requires community for the success and prosperity. Your nation is behind you. Please let’s not focus on what didn’t happen but on progress being made. I live on the hurricane prone east coast of NC. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️
I dont think our Fed. Govt has done anything to help. Fema has done more to hurt. thank God for these local people and others that have helped. all I can do in fl. is sent money to some organizations that help. ( Sams purse ) God Bless you all.
If the sheriff is intimidating people and threatening the helpers to go and not help (as described by the man in the video) is that not crimes against humanity? Especially when the people had no food and water and they need help (like donated food and water) to live but sheriff is bullying the helpers to leave.
lf you mistrust the government and the 'authorities', that's going to color your perceptions about everything in the wake of a natural [cataclysmic] disaster like Helene. l live in Swannanoa, probably 30 miles from Bat Cave as the crow flies. Helene wreaked havoc in all of WNC. l went to Florida 6 days after Helene hit here. l had no power.Guess what? lt wreaked havoc up and down the Gulf Coast of Florida, mostly with the storm surge.Helene was a once-in-1000 years event that affected states from FL to TN. Easily more destructive than Katrina. l understand folks fear, anxiety and impatience. l have experienced all of these in trying to re-establish a semblance of my pre-Helene life. Blasting FEMA, which is overwhelmed by Helene's destruction, denigrates fellow human beings and produces nothing except resentment. Chill out folks. lt's going to be a long haul.
Everybody needs help there. Everybody needs help there now! That’s not being selfish. That’s just the truth. The problem is is they just isn’t enough manpower to help everybody immediately. Should there be? Probably. We have to remember what kind of incompetent buffoons have been running this country for the last four years though. Are there some politics that play here? Absolutely. Is there somewhat of a government land grab maybe going on here? Many people in the area affected seem to think there is. Too many people are reporting this for there not to be something to it.Remember the rule if you think someone is out to get you, they are.
Listen to who is supporting the Government in this report. Everyone in support of the Government is people such as the Fire Dept. that receives money from the government. The simple citizens do not feel the same way. Get smart it's easy to see if you follow the money. Fire Department = Government funded. Local Representative = Government check. Local Resident = sweat from his back, helped by neighbors, love from people and churches.
A perfect example... the meme said, "those that earn $700 an hour have convinced those that earn $25 an hour that the problem is all of "those" that earn $7.50 an hour... FREEDUMB loving MAGAts.
Ok, given this reporting. Let me pose this question and maybe you guys can shed some light. If the river is being located back to its original location in Chimney Rock. WHY? On one valley over, in the Green River Gorge are the land owners property's being condemned??? ruclips.net/video/59nACx-bRWw/видео.html
FEMA has done nothing on the ground. Rumors about dead and missing are disgusting. Every soul here in Yancey County was accounted for by our local government and the NC National guard early on. That said in a county with 18,000 people 2,000 homes and businesses were lost and roads are destroyed. It’s costing us $25k to have our road and driveway replaced. Hopefully this week. ❤️✝️🇺🇸
Who owns this Network? Scripps-Howard? Sept 24th, That mining company in Charlotte, NC filed for a permit to mine in that area. After tje disaster, Kamala, whose husband owns stock in that company, reportedly, signed the paoers for the company to mine that area. Coincidence
ruclips.net/video/upOrVdO2Q_8/видео.html Stirring things up and causing conflicts to gain views and likes doesn't help the situation. It hurts it. Maybe you should have gotten all of the facts before you posted this. At least you apologized.

Nothing about this issue is confusing to real people. The American people are on their own.

Remember that narcissists will always make a crisis about them selves.
So RUDE..maybe you’re sitting high and dry!
Uh they did not help my husband and I after three tries - we gave up
Is it anything like Florida where the emergency coordinator issued instructions to avoid homes that had Trump signs during their wellness checks?
Gossip does make more problems than help
What about Asheville?
Do people have working phones
If they do, it's not from fema!

Should there be? Probably. We have to remember what kind of incompetent buffoons have been running this country for the last four years though. Are there some politics that play here? Absolutely. Is there somewhat of a government land grab maybe going on here? Many people in the area affected seem to think there is. Too many people are reporting this for there not to be something to it.Remember the rule if you think someone is out to get you, they are.

Listen to who is supporting the Government in this report. Everyone in support of the Government is people such as the Fire Dept. that receives money from the government. The simple citizens do not feel the same way. Get smart it's easy to see if you follow the money. Fire Department = Government funded. Local Representative = Government check. Local Resident = sweat from his back, helped by neighbors, love from people and churches.
A perfect example... the meme said, "those that earn $700 an hour have convinced those that earn $25 an hour that the problem is all of "those" that earn $7.50 an hour... FREEDUMB loving MAGAts.
Ok, given this reporting. Let me pose this question and maybe you guys can shed some light.
If the river is being located back to its original location in Chimney Rock.
WHY? On one valley over, in the Green River Gorge are the land owners property's being condemned???

FEMA has done nothing on the ground. Rumors about dead and missing are disgusting. Every soul here in Yancey County was accounted for by our local government and the NC National guard early on. That said in a county with 18,000 people 2,000 homes and businesses were lost and roads are destroyed. It’s costing us $25k to have our road and driveway replaced. Hopefully this week. ❤️✝️🇺🇸
Billions for Ukraine but only $750.00 for you if you are lucky enough to get that....

With what we now know about FEMA and the fed admin-check the online voting registrations to see what party they helped.

Stirring things up and causing conflicts to gain views and likes doesn't help the situation. It hurts it. Maybe you should have gotten all of the facts before you posted this. At least you apologized.
