can you post any lies that the internet loves? maybe FEMA is charging for site access? the governor being carried around in a rickshaw? water is $50 a bottle? i still have access to my local nextdoor site, i’m at the beach and reading some of the lies are crazy.Weekend trip to Asheville to help my uncle and grandmother. Shocked to see that FEMA was NOT preventing help from coming in. Asheville airport looks like a military base. There were a few reports of people prevented from going into harms way in the areas where the ground is really unstable. Tons of private citizens pitching and coming alongside each other in support. Most are focused on clearing roads of debris and building temporary roads/bridges.
Now looks like maybe a trip to central florida to help my dad depending on where milton goes.
That is one reason I decided to retire to HHI, SC instead of Florida. And guess what ? The first year there Matthew hit HHI hard. You never know. When I was in Virginia, Isabel hit us hard and we lost power for two weeks. I love the Asheville area, but who would have thought a hurricane would effect them like it has.This whole “hurricane hitting Florida” thing is getting old.

asheville is a great part of the state and to see what has happened is devastating, i am happy that there are still good people chipping in. how do they recover from this realistically?
Yea, I didn’t want to fan any flames when people were talking about the govt. in every instance that my sister experienced any and all outside help was welcomed. Even when they were basically under Marshall law after Marylyn. But hey, if you read it on the inner tubes it MUST be true!can you post any lies that the internet loves? maybe FEMA is charging for site access? the governor being carried around in a rickshaw? water is $50 a bottle? i still have access to my local nextdoor site, i’m at the beach and reading some of the lies are crazy.Weekend trip to Asheville to help my uncle and grandmother.

Watched this video this morning. It's from a few days ago, dude walked into Chimney Rock. You might have seen snippets of this as I recognized a few clips from this already. Yea I don't know how these folks rebuild without a massive aid package. To your point, insurance isn't covering this.Realistically the people don't recover from this. Insurance companies won't cover much and the rebuild will take years. Far too long for people to tough it out without having a community to fall back on.

Stay safe GB!Tanpa airport is shutting down Tuesday at 9am.
My wife was supposed to fly to Vegas Tue night until Friday, that ain't happening.
We're just east of I-75 in Brandon and are hunkering down for this one, we're far enough from the coast that flooding/surge shouldn't be an issue for us. Wind damage/power outage is probably the worst be will deal with. Heading to the vet for some doggie Xanax for the pup now.
Stay safe and good luck to my fellow Floridians!
I can't help but think about all the massive piles of furniture, appliances etc that are sitting on curbs and streets from Helene - the surge from Milton is gonna turn all that into floating debris that can cause even more damage.
This ain't gonna be pretty.
That was extremely sad. I know exactly that stretch of road - spent many a days there the couple times I visited my brother who lives very close to there.Watched this video this morning.

Really emphasizes why they don't let just anyone into these areas even if they have the best intentions. Downed power lines everywhere. Unstable roads, boulders, hillsides, and potential widow maker tree limbs hanging all over.Watched this video this morning. It's from a few days ago, dude walked into Chimney Rock.

Honestly I think it's incident specific at this point. Some spots are super cool and welcoming, some spots are ********. Nobody had a plan for this or if they did, I'm guessing they never did a dry run. Everyone reacts differently in these situations, I think 95% are trying to help, the other 5% are like these idiots. The local sheriffs have a tremendous amount of power doing these events and some get a little over their ski's with it. It will get sorted out, these mountain folk don't take **** and won't stand idly by as their neighbors suffer.not trying to rile anyone up but Musk is shall we say not exactly the most trustworthy sourceMusk claimed starlink technicians were not allowed into affected areas to set up communication links.can you post any lies that the internet loves? maybe FEMA is charging for site access? the governor being carried around in a rickshaw? water is $50 a bottle? i still have access to my local nextdoor site, i’m at the beach and reading some of the lies are crazy.Weekend trip to Asheville to help my uncle and grandmother.

Floating? Try Flying.
A lot of times it’s not about whether someone is trying to help. Every time anyone goes in, it creates a potential emergency and drain on resources if they ultimately need to be rescued themselves.Honestly I think it's incident specific at this point.

Haven't seen anyone saying that. I have however seen the conspiracy nuts saying this was "man made" and that makes me both laugh and angry... and sad.f anyone is thinking the models are showing it breaking up right before it hit land, they are playing with absolute fire here.
Smart move.Have a few friends in Tampa area. They have stayed home and hunkered down for every other storm that has come though.
They are leaving for this one. It looks bad.
We have utter lunatics ranting all over social media…..about this very thing. I only know because my sister is on X (I deleted my account a year ago).Haven't seen anyone saying that.

My niece is in Venice Beach, she snagged a hotel someplace. Lives in a trailer park, hope it's there when she gets back.Have a few friends in Tampa area. They have stayed home and hunkered down for every other storm that has come though.

Musk claims a lot of things.Musk claimed
Nor sure what youre asking, but we hear every single year the $750 tripe. We hear th he govt is nowhere to be found or that the govt is taking all the hotel rooms (both of those with respect to Asheville) We hear the govt wont let people help. This one we keep hearing that the govt cant help because they are all at the southern border.can you post any lies that the internet loves? maybe FEMA is charging for site access? the governor being carried around in a rickshaw? water is $50 a bottle? i still have access to my local nextdoor site, i’m at the beach and reading some of the lies are crazy.Weekend trip to Asheville to help my uncle and grandmother.

Anyone trying to make the calls on just allowing willing folks in to try to do anything they can to help people versus not allowing people to enter into areas where they themselves may need to be saved costing rescuers more time and resources is in a tough spot.
Isn't so they can perform accurate measurements of the hurricane?what is the point of us flying an airplane into the storm? what is actually being gained from this?
