Panthers Fan 69

The Guard is there hauling tons on tons of dirt. There is the church off to the left that is digging out of a landslide. Outside of that, not sure what can be done. These boulders I saw weigh way more than us combined.

Not the time. Only good vibes and help here.

Apartments have been completely gutted in Boone and there are trash piles 8 feet tall.

Up here today. I can attest to this Twitter post. If you have a rough supplies, they authorities will escort you. Only 20 minutes outside of Boone, Vilas is a war zone. @LinvilleGorgewhat are you seeing up here today?

Yep! Vs Tampa

Yeah it had to be sat for a little. It’s important this thread stays open because it’s more important than any sports thread. Let’s all keep political stuff out of it and only post stories or links for aid.

@Jon Snowsee my post earlier about people I know that can see bodies from a valley, but can’t get to them. I’ve seen some of the pictures and it’s fuging terrifying. I wish I didn’t see them, but I did.

Guys I want to shift us back from making this too political and to put it in perspective. Today, our friends are helping out past lake lure and sent this…. ”There are bodies hanging from trees in this valley in front of us but there is no way to get down there to get them down right now” How terrible that help can’t even get down there to get folks bodies down from trees because how impassable the terrain still is. Just awful.

@LinvilleGorge pretty interesting video here on the topic of 1916. Pretty much the pre-conditions were perfect. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAork9Xpb2R/?igsh=MXNndGdybjFzMmZlag==

A lot of these types of people are actually my family back home and I will tell you they are some of the absolute toughest people on the planet. Country Strong is a real thing.

You boys just take of yourselves and your family. We got you. Heading that way tomorrow to load more trucks and helicopters at HRA.

People in the crowd are total assholes. Got in early to save seats. In General Admission, you can’t do that with people outside. Total Karen’s getting pissed becasue they are told to give their seats up. Very disappointed in the shitshow. Next year they need to assign seats.

That’s what my friends that live in the heart of it say. I was able to make it to old fort and it was terrible.

However guys, I’m done debating if people should have known or not. Up to almost 100 bodies found today. We must pray and send local relief or help in anyway possible. These are my family and friends back home and this other stuff is trivial. fug the politicians, we must be NC helping NC.

Again, if this was projected to be this bad, people would have been evacuated. The thing that hurt the most was the week before that got 7-11inches of rain. This one just blew it over. also, @LinvilleGorge check this out, not only does this data suggest this storm was bigger than 1940, but even 1916. This was labeled a 1000 year storm in some spots.

No one knew. You didn’t. I didn’t. Weather people didn’t the locals didn’t. It was a 100 year flood. Those don’t happen every weekend. Trust me if people would have known they wouldn’t have found 50 bodies in the last five hours in Avery county and 200 plus so far.

That’s been the consensus. But, I don’t how anyone would have known.

https://www.unleashedmutt.com Local pet supply company in Raleigh is sending tons of pet supplies.

Not arguing politics. I don’t talk politics. I was giving props to the NC people for helping. I was also only stating facts. I don’t know what he signed or didn’t sign because most of what you read online is either a media driving lie or heavily gaslit so I don’t pay much attention. Both sides. However he was the first one out becasue we saw him and so did my family.

My man we could have been loading Helis at the same time rubbing shoulder to shoulder and didn’t even know it.

Indeed. We just got back and will be heading back again this Friday for more help. We talked with a lot of the private parties sans a few helicopter pilots at the hickory regional airport and it’s all being paid for by themselves. Really nice to see. Also, love him or hate him, the only the first real political figurehead out there was Mark Robinson. Like within a day he was out in the western part of the state. Love him or hate him, that man does care for NC. Coop took forever and please don’t get me started on the people above. Not tying to stir anything up but yeah, most of this relief has been the people of NC and that is something we can be proud of.

Jesus!

If we are sharing links for help, can we pin this to the top of the board so it gets the most eyes. We know many people that don’t post come to this post to read. @LinvilleGorge @Zod @rayzor

Don’t forget pet food as well. Animals are running very low pet food.

Free parking and all money goes to western NC relief.
