Anyone on here have stories to share from the remnants of Helene? Western NC area got annihilated with storm damage. Asheville area broke records for river flooding.

we have all gotten used to shorelines getting hammered by a storm. to see a hurricane do so much damage inland is a real shocker. Ashville is basically in the mountains.

the response so far has been as good as can be expected. Starlink really is incredible to have around. There are some stations being set up with Starlink around the area to help with communications.

One thing you won’t see in Western NC is much of , if any, is looting. If you do it’ll probably be in Ashville. Mountain rural people have lots of guns and will protect what’s theirs. No law enforcement necessary at times like these.

Is there really anything left to loot that isn't buried in mud?
