Glad to hear about Mennonite Disaster Service. I have worked with them on disaster relief here at home(Saskatchewan, Canada). I also have family in South GA who were just outside of the main path of the hurricane and still have power.
oh Lord. I am glad your family in South GA is okay. And yeah I was glad to hear about them bc I had no idea about them, but living in Florida and having moved here from Tennessee, I’m sure familiar with the Mennonite community’s blessings in other ways, had no idea they also did disaster relief. Massive salute to them.
I'm going to leave you with something that will really piss off those affected by this manufacturered Hurricane Helena.
Clemson University, unfortunately, my Alma Mater held a home football game on Saturday. They paid the power company big $$$'s to have power while the rest of the town and people all over the state can't get power for weeks or more. "Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt." How true those words, I hate sports! I appreciate you and you platform. Thank you!
That in the Mars Hill area? My friends in that area told me about a football game (we thought it was a high school) going on while all hell was breaking loose down the road - I wrote about that in the first Hurricane Helene Intel post. THANK YOU for sharing this. And I’m with you in the manufactured part as well. IDK if you got to see the live with Dane Wigington and Perma Pastures Farm today about geoengineering and the storm but if not, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlUSEOBcRWI and God Bless 💜
If the University put that money into helping others in their own community and the small towns that surround it, by providing water and necessities, they would be heroes. But no, most of the people down that way in Pickens County are on water and septic. If there is no electricity, there is no water. They could have postponed the game.
I know it. and they lost that well water even if they had a way to get it out because the septic flooded the well - same shit happened here during debbie regarding the water supply, our water is still fucked.
oh then nevermind, this was in Mars Hill NC on Saturday. Weird though? I guess that isn’t too differnet from my area in FL though. a few miles in one direction, underwater. a few miles in the other, business as usual. which i dont have words for how angry i get about that.
That's Western Carolina University in Mars Hill. If they hosted a game with all the devastation in that area, people should be in an uproar there as well! They can host a football game, and yet classes have been canceled, wtf?
Yeah my friends in that area were really pissed about it, that and a LOT of other things. The dissonance seems to be widespread. I was talking with the people here in Florida who have been organizing relief initiatives locally and we’ve seen weird stuff too… like… yo five miles down the road they’re underwater and yall are going outta town for a concert? the fuck? idk. maybe im wrong but I feel like crises impacting life itself should take priority over everything else.
Thank you for this post! I hope it is another eye opener for those people who don't believe the devastation! God bless all those who are helping even in the smallest way. This will give you an idea what it has been like for us in the South. When the dam burst at Lake Lure, it literally obliterated the town of Chimney Rock. This is a truly beautiful area of NC, and we know the area very well. Dirty Dancing was filmed there at Lake Lure. The Last of the Mocchians was filmed at Chimney Rock. To also know this hurricane may have been manufactured, sickens me to no end. The media has downplayed the devastation as minimal, so has the government. Thousands of people missing when swept from their homes by the raging French Broad and Swannanoa Rivers. We live about 75 miles south of this area, and a combination of tornadoes with this hurricane has left thousands without power, water, and medical care. We won't have power for another week or two, some, even longer. If you have never experienced losing everything you own to the power of water, then you would never understand. There is no down playing the tragedy Helena has caused.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for sharing this and your experience. I made a video for social media so I could draw awareness to the resources in this article - i dont know why things like this surprise me even in the slightest anymore, but when i went to use the #hurricanehelene hashtag, i had to type it all the way out before it would even pop up, and just about every other hurricane in the past before the one we're literally dealing with popped up before. so that right there shows active suppression on an additional level. it does sicken me that people dont get it. it does sicken me that they aren't talking about it. God forbid the tables turn.
Who could possibly believe this isn’t happening to the people in those areas? I want names so I can hunt them down.
Thank you for your reporting on this Tess and your resource listing. I have many friends in the area of Western NC including my niece and nephew and their newborn who are in Greenville SC and were very lucky, unlike many neighbors just to the West and North of them.
Thank God they are safe. God bless you and all of your loved ones. And yes, I share your same sentiment... the level of rage I felt when I heard there were people (these were from Oregon) who were downplaying it and denying it / gaslighting my friend who had told them what was actually happening.
and its not just them. the hashtags on social media are censored/suppressed. NOBODY is talking about it ANYWHERE. i feel like we're in an experimental black site. people have no idea. or if they do, they think its like... "oh a few people got water in their house just some rain now the red cross is there to fix everything..." TF!?
There was another girl who joined the disaster resource/rescue check in group on FB and she said, "oh my god, I'm so sorry, I'm in Utah and I didn't even know this had happened, I'm just finding out!?" that was last night. List goes on.
We will take care of one another in this region, that much I know. I don't think anyone's playing nice with that nonsense anymore though.
This is so devastating. Treasure island, st Pete beach, Ft Desoto Park, so many places from my childhood are gone. My heart goes out to all affected. I hope we as a society can become more prepared for disasters like this. Sending you love. ❤️
God bless you and sending you love right back. And yes, the most common phrasing I hear from everyone’s reaction to the coastal areas is “warzone” because everything is decimated or just flat out gone. I’m really concerned about the communities here who are still flooded in and nobody has been able to reach them. We are trying. I know this is the case for several states right now. People are helping people, and perhaps this is a great lesson for us all that I pray we NEVER forget.

I didn't get a chance to see it until now. Thank you for the link!
Clemson University is in Clemson, SC
