I know clean water is at its highest demand, it was getting crazy with Asheville reports for bottle water. Im sorry to ask and know I was lucky to have help before I bought my generator. My father told me- " make sure you buy one that will run your water pump ". Dam near broke me at the time, but I did and years later I wished I bought one bigger. (uncle came from SC to get mine) Can anyone do that in your areas? I know you know about boiling your water after this mess, just a friendly reminder. I dont know your area but there should be springs, just boil. I also heard many of the helicopters were refusing bottle water, but that was a couple days ago.  

Bless you and ham it up, godspeed jon snow.  

I have a well and have plenty of clean water just need power.  I have a generator that I bought when I lived in New Been 25 years ago. Lived through plenty of hurricanes there. But that generator no l9nger runs. They've brought in plenty by the truck loads. Folks are just so used to the power being back on so fast that they have stopped buying them. I'm thinking of going solar and definitely going to check into star link.

Actually him coming prevents us from doing our work while he's here. Our drones cannot fly anywhere near his route. But we have contingency plans. My group is part of the disaster response team and most of us have been working 14 to 16 hour days since daybreak Sunday morning. None of us had power or water and little to know communication with the outside world. I just got off the phone with the team lead getting updates. Everyone is spent.

I'm not sure why this post was poo'd. It's the Secret Service controlling the air space you morons. We had to do the same thing for the Governor.  I swear some of you are obsessed with politics.

I'm very glad to have Starlink. I would've been without connectivity from home other than text for a few days without it. We talked about getting a whole house generator when we bought this place because we're half a mile off the road and there's only two houses on this line. I knew in the event of a major outage (I was thinking ice storm would be the most likely culprit) we'd be super low priority. But since we bought the place we've never lost power but for a few minutes. Now this and sure enough, nope we still don't have power. I don't really care. I'm fine with being the last house in Burke County with power as far as I'm concerned. I have a 3500w generator that can run everything except the HVAC, kitchen range, and dryer and I have plenty of other cooking options.

The politicians flocking to grip and grin just fugs poo up. Just keep your asses away and sign the paperwork. How about some damn helicopters? It's pathetic that the private helicopters are still grossly outnumbering the government helicopters. Just started noticing Blackhawks yesterday. Before that it was almost all private birds with the occasional Chinook.

They should have been ready to go Saturday.

Politicians can't miss an opportunity to take advantage of a disaster l.

Facts.

Our local dipshit Warren Daniel had to get out there to "escort" aid convoys. Nevermind the state troopers in front of his truck doing the actual escorting. You're just taking advantage of photo ops.

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

Pretty much my setup here in Eastern NC

 

We have weathered several hurricanes and this generator has been awesome and gotten us through a few times
