The reality of whats going on in NC

This guy looks like he's been stoked up by politics to the point where he will become a bad guy with his guns. The police should at least be proactive enough to check if he owns an AR15 or some other weapon that people in his contition shouldn't have.
Also noticable is that he's a skinny little guy who fits the description for an AR-15 owner.
I can tell you are probably a big city kid where everything is dressed up and quite socially proper. Probably have never been around many rural people and certainly not rural mountain people.

This guy is exactly what they are like. They tell it as they see it, like it is. With passion, emphasis and profanity. And they are not any more likely to grab an AR-15 and go shooting people than you are.

Shame on you.
 
Video was nonsense. I couldnt make anything of it. Most curfews ended two days ago. There are roads restricted for recovery vehicles. The guy was all mumbo jumbo. You want to know the reality? Go here:


In Buncombe County, 72 lives have been lost due to Hurricane Helene.

Solid Waste Services
Waste Pro is resuming limited service in Weaverville on Friday where safe and accessible. Residents can drop off household trash (no storm debris) at North Buncombe Pool, 734 Clarks Chapel Road, Weaverville, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Buncombe County Landfill will be open Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

We have set up a warehouse at 6 Commerce Way in Arden to receive hurricane relief supplies. We can receive donations from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. daily. Any size vehicle is welcome.

We have seven categories of things that we can accept, these include:

Mountain Mobility
As long as patients are accessible, Mountain Mobility is resuming life-sustaining dialysis transport in coordination with dialysis centers. This will also help open hospital beds.

Community Support for Unhoused Individuals
Code Purple, a coordinated effort among Asheville and Buncombe County shelters and other organizations to provide emergency overflow shelter for unhoused individuals, was called prior to the storm with collaboration between City, County, and service providers to quickly outreach to folks on the street and attempt to get them to Code Purple locations before the storm hit. Many of them are still in those shelters for the time being, and County Community Paramedics along with City Community Responders have been making regular rounds to homeless service and permanent supportive housing provider locations to offer support and resources to residents and staff at those locations.

Permits
The Buncombe County Permits Office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Applications are accepted electronically at buncombecounty.org/permits. Special flood hazard area requirements may apply.

Town of Biltmore Forest Updates

Hurricane Helene brought down a large number of trees at Biltmore Forest, which is a primary residential area. This was the main source of destruction for this community.
All roads are currently accessible for emergency crews.

The water system will require repairs once water systems are restored.

Wi-Fi Access
Free Wi-Fi is available at the North Asheville Library use the password “readmore” lowercase, no space. Other libraries include Pack Memorial, Enka-Candler and West Asheville.

Pet Care
MedVet Asheville, an emergency and specialty veterinary hospital, will be opening starting tomorrow Friday, Oct. 4 from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. and will be open those hours every day. They are located at 677 Brevard Road, Asheville, NC 28806.
Buncombe County is also probably the most populous county in the hardest hit area and Asheville the largest city in far western NC. with more than 90k population putting it squarely in the urban, not rural, category. Naturally it will have more resources and get more attention in relief efforts. I do not at all minimize the devastation Asheville itself sustained but I can believe that it is receiving good response and resources in the aftermath.

Those in more rural areas are obviously not faring anywhere nearly as well.
 
I hate having to exit USMB to read tweets.

Nonsense. This is the guy who tweets lies every day

 
The government is unable to help so no one else can
FEMA 101

No laws stipulate that and if further accosted then defend yourself

No, you're wrong.

It's the small and skinny billies we should be concerned about. Ya'all can just suspect that he'll have an AR to make up for his small personal equipment.
Shame on you.
 
Absurd to think that these agencies can declare the ongoing successful help as “unqualified”
