Hurricane Helene

[Noel]

Let’s get this back going, it’s cold and harsh. Anyone wanna help send up some heaters and propane? I’ve heard of lots of propane struggles in the area.

Won't go political here, but the patience, concern, and just listening is very telling...

Good to see you dude! It's crazy how much water came thru, and I'm not surprised you had that much.

I so wanted to see a Ford Ranger in that lineup...with 20 bales behind it!

Need any help up there?

 

[hcore4x4]

Thanks, I’m still figuring it out. Got the shop mostly cleaned up, pondering out what to do with the rest. 4/ 5 flooded vehicles are running again, including a ls swap I had just got running. Not sure the electric Jeep is going to make it, dont care about the 305 in the blazer. At high tide you would have only been able to see the roofs of those two. Im surprised that some of the equipment works after hanging with sponge bob.

I will never cease to be amazed at the power of water.

Crazy how we're praying for rain here now. Wildfires are raging all around the Asheville area currently.
All that debris and downfall is fueling them and making it a real bitch to fight the fires.

I feel bad for noticing but 16.50 looks like a helluva climb.

I called that out right after the event. It set the stage for a Cali type environment.

God Bless those of you that went down to help out.

Honestly it's what needs to happen to start getting things back to normal. It's a natural occurrence, it's only a problem because the most dominant/parasitic/not-sure-what-the-right-word-is species the earth has ever seen has constructed dwellings all over the place.

Agreed. Hopefully it corrects itself w/o the loss of life and (primary) homes.

Today is the 6 month anniversary of the storm that changed WNC forever.

If you drive through WNC you will see millions of trees down, and wonder how a fire hasn't started.
