Underwater in North Carolina .. and Michigan


QuoteJoe Biden and Kamala Harris are completely AWOL.

Harris was at the border for the first time in 3 years for a photo op.
If that Hurricane would have hit Cali, you better believe PedoJoe and Kumbucket Harris would have been there before the last wave hit.

My wife's dad lives in Greeneville TN. He said they got 13 inches of rain from the storm. luckily his house in on a hill and he has a steel roof and brick exterior so he didn't have any damage from the storm. He normally goes to the same small diner for breakfast everyday. He said the bridge he has to cross was washed away from the rain so he has to to find a new way there.

South Carolina pilot told to stop rescuing people in his personal helicopter or get arrested.
WTF?

If you want to donate to help rescue efforts

Wings of Hope

This is a report from the pilots

QuoteUPDATE: It's helping. From Wings of Hope: "We were just able to get a second helicopter for two days, gas bill funded. There are two of us now. It's huge, will post more about the impact and what's going on tomorrow, but this is a really really big deal and saving a lot of people's lives. So many dead, they are not talking about it, is sad to see. Like a war zone."

One of the guys who works for a tool vender I use retired to western Tennessee earlier this year.
He said his house is high up on a hill and he suffered no flooding. He also got about 13" of rain overnight and lost a couple of trees but all is well.

A few of our employees in FL are in mandatory evacuation zones. The others are preparing for a serious event. So far, the building we are in has previously made it through the biggest hurricane to ever hit FL and did not flood or sustain any major damage. Hopefully that holds true for this storm as well. I'm supposed to go back in 3 weeks.
