I've actually been to Boone, NC quite a few times. We had to travel there a lot to play Appalachian State when I was playing college ball..
You know what now is a time for the federal government to step in because states like Florida really made things worse for the people when it comes to insurance crisis. As far as south North Carolina, Tennessee goes well there’s nothing you could do with them. Those rednecks had to learn a lesson the hard way. Oh, and those houses in Florida, especially along the coast where the hurricane came in it was over $1 million and they are fucked so the insurance companies are going to trip with them if they don’t pay for the damages out of pocket.Good chance all the national home insurance companies like State Farm will cancel policies in the area going forward.
And raise home insurance rates for people through out the country to make up the loss.
Hurricane Beryle is an unprecedented category 5. It's now at 165 mph, and Jamaica is looking to get his head on in the worst possible way. This is a very serious, and devastating situation for the island.
Here was a post of Hurricane Beryl when it was a Cat 5 (165 mph).
Man, I travelled to the mountains many times while living here. Been all throughout western NC. It’s a sad reality that what I knew of them will no longer exist the same way.
The state of North Carolina from west to east has taken a beating this year.
This thread has documented all of it.
I really hate to say this, but that number is going to get too over 200 in the next week or two. A lot of those people in Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina did not see this coming and they was just washed away.Helene's brutal toll: At least 100 dead; states struggling to recover. Live updates
At least 100 people were dead and over 2 million homes and businesses remained in the dark across the Southeast on Monday, the region under siege from historic flooding driven by Hurricane Helene and its remnants.

Hey, peeps. Just checking in to say that I am mostly okay. SE Georgia wasn't supposed to get hit too hard (and honestly, it could have been way worse), but I've still been without power for over 3 days now.
The only good news is that nobody too close to me suffered any serious damage or injury. It's mostly just be inconvenient. They say most people in the area should have their power back by tomorrow at the latest, but we'll see. I may not have the time or privacy to fully check back in for another few days, but I hope everyone made it through okay, or at least are on the road to recovery.
Until then, keep on keeping on.

I wanna say Augusta and Valdosta caught the worst of it in Georgia.Damn I didn’t know it was like that for Augusta
I wanna say Augusta and Valdosta caught the worst of it in Georgia.
Augusta is on some modern day Mad Max type shit. Long lines for gas. Long lines waiting for stores to open, ice in short supply. Big azz trees down blocking entire lanes of a street. A lot of folks left the city altogether. A majority of traffic lights being out, or just gone period. Water being out for some people, then water restrictions , and now there's a boiling advisory. The Mayor fucking up. The Governor dragging his feet. A perfect storm of bullshit.
Even some Republicans had to call Trump out on this bullshit boy he’s an asshole for real. The federal government is directly engaged with this situation some areas they cannot get to right away because the damage is so severe.Trump makes false claims about federal response as he campaigns in area ravaged by Hurricane Helene
The former president and Republican nominee claimed upon landing in Valdosta that President Joe Biden was “sleeping” and not responding to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who he said was “calling the president and hasn’t been able to get him.” He repeated the claim at an event with reporters after being told Kemp said he had spoken to Biden.
