 If you’re not seeing a lot about #HurricaneHelene aftermath, I get the feeling that’s on purpose… look how it refuses to autofill on #tiktok for the video I just made - which is me showing zero front page stories about the disaster in NC or the relief efforts on Fox, CNN or MSNBC… anyway, keep Appalachia in your thoughts, especially western NC where there are 180+ fatalities and many hundreds more missing. Roads are washed out, supplies are being brought in by helicopters and hobby drones and mules. Many hundreds of thousands of people are still without power 6 days later. https://image.nostr.build/19ef23bdcad2ec3e38b0b0c384560d12001d53cfa8c59154b36ba02a27637e83.jpg  
 I’m not saying they don’t want people asking inconvenient questions about our budgetary priorities as a nation, but I’m not not saying it… 
 So much destruction in so many areas… war zone-like qualities around. 
 This was Greenville, SC and they didn’t even get the worst of it. #hurricanehelene https://image.nostr.build/efebefc9219171040b49f1cc903a6d142e36c1c48401269f3e168c8f706bd429.jpg https://image.nostr.build/5e7bd5982e71021be1a8436f6f4016f838b73f2a44ea0c9928fa6d9379292f12.jpg

 It's way worse in the mountains around Asheville 
 For sure. We have friends in Asheville that we still haven’t heard from 🥺😣
