The media is complicit again too. The west coast people are contacting us wanting to know what’s going on over in Florida. They don’t even know about NC and the other states involved.

We have friends in Asheville and it’s way worse than imagineable. They got word to us briefly they were at least “ok” and finally found water yesterday. They still have a little food they are using the grill to cook on. But my question is what happens when that runs out? Oh ya…I forgot….its time for another 50 billion to Ukraine. Shut up hurricane sufferers. Back of the line and stop whining about food and water. Peoples lives are on the line in Ukraine. 😡 I just can’t. I can’t. The ugly anger that comes out of me when these evil criminals are involved is just too ugly to stomach.

Hawaii has land, East Palestine has fertile land, and NC has land rich w/minerals. So the powers that be would prefer Americans move away. Problem is there is no where to move because the illegals have all the housing.

Granny Annie's avatar

I live on the coast of NC, and I have family in Ashe County, one of the hardest hit areas. This was not about NC's mineral-rich mountain land. I am convinced it happened because the plan to smear Mark Robinson into political oblivion was not working. So, they pulled out the stops. Now there are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of legal voters who planned to vote "red" for whom voting is now the last thing on their minds. It's hard to estimate the death toll just in NC, but it will easily hit the triple digits. And they're not finished with us yet. All of this water has to go somewhere, and water always finds its level. In NC, that means sea level - our beautiful coastline. It will feed into our larger rivers in the piedmont, swelling them and their many tributaries beyond their banks, then continue eastward on to the coast. Where I live, it would be the mighty Neuse River. Along with having all of that to worry about, they're already cooking up another storm down in the Caribbean and already projecting that NC will be in it's path. And let's not forget the impending longshoremen's strike. Our county is home to one of our State Ports (a train leading to the port runs right through the middle of town). Seems NC is getting a big dose of October Surprise a few days early. But don't count us down and out just yet. Being one of the original 13 colonies, we North Carolinians come from hearty and hardy stock. Don't underestimate us. And, please, keep our mountain people and communities in your prayers.

Annie, You've expressed exactly what I was thinking about the results of this very strange storm... The people who will be so overwhelmed with taking care of their basic needs, that voting will not be a top priority, BUT this voting cycle is TOP PRIORITY for us all !!! I pray a miracle over your entire area. I pray God's hands DO the work that needs to be done so the waters abate and people can breathe a sigh of relief. It is imperative that we spread the word, that voting MUST happen this voting cycle. Dear Jesus wrap the people of NC and all those affected by this storm in your mighty arms.

Tusli Gabbard was on the Shawn Ryan show. He asked her very bluntly about all the rumors. She denied them all, but there was a subtle body language shift and she was uncomfortable to be put in the spot over the topic. The interview was great until he asked her questions about Hawaii and I saw a change. I have no idea what others thought or if they saw the shift. She did politely make a dogged comment about Oprah, an insinuating type snark, when asked about those rumors.

Why you have such love for Palestinians? Are Hamas terrorists your favorites?

Look at the camp you’re fighting in. To your right is Antifa, to your left is BLM; your cause is taught by rabid, racist, communist professors in the universities of this evil world. Pedophile Hollywood celebrities have your back. Completely irrational and insane queers are on your side.

If they can win against Israel, they’re coming against your belongings next. Aren’t you living on land that once belonged to indigenous peoples? Didn’t black slaves build your city? You don’t deserve what you have.

Get a clue before it’s too late.

The land belongs to Israel . Since all Israelis were forced from Gaza, leaving their homes and businesses in 2005 (In 2005, 21 Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip and four Israeli settlements in the West Bank were unilaterally dismantled.[1] Israeli settlers and army evacuated from inside the Gaza Strip, redeploying its military along the border.[2-Wikipedia) Hamas has never ceased building up weapon supplies and tunneling under vulnerable civilian buildings, such as schools and hospitals (with the knowledge and compliance of the civilians in charge) and calling for the total annihilation of Israel. The October 7 Massacre, the innocent Jewish hostages still being held (if they haven’t been murdered) is ample proof for any reasonable person to see there can never be a two state solution. Israel gave it their all, but never again.

Why are you supporting those who want the total annihilation of Israel?

I think Nancy is not referring to salvation which is by grace alone through faith alone, but rather the activities of life that we must do. And while salvation is by grace alone, the Bible also teaches that "For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

The origin of the quote actually IS pagan. It was originally "the gods help those that help themselves" It purportedly came from Aesop's fables. https://fablesofaesop.com/hercules-and-the-wagoner.html#more-139

What about the parable of the man stranded on the roof waiting for rescue who turned down the boat and helicopter etc, waiting for God to rescue him? It’s that sort of thing, in my opinion, what the

Previous poster refers to.

We (followers of Christ) go to Christ and ask what does He want us to do, and we learn to listen to the Holy Spirit and learn His word. We gain wisdom and discernment and using His guidance we act or we do not act when He tells us to or while we wait. Respond not react.

Doing this to the best of our ability is our version of “self help”.

I use to say “just pick up the shovel” until I realized it wasn’t always what God wanted me to do. 🙏.

Padrig's avatar

The rest of that fable is that God sent the boat and the helicopter. Even if you see it otherwise, it wasn't the person on the roof helping himself but rather accepting the help of others. It doesn't have anything at all to do with self-help. All the man did for himself was climb to the safety of the roof and fail to recognize the many ways that God helps us in times of trouble.

I grew up with a hard scrabble community of farm people with very deep faith. This parable pisses me off, because all of the people I have experienced, who rely on God, would have recognized both the helicopter and the boat as having ultimately come from God.

I think this parable is designed to make faithful people out to be fools. I believe it comes from the pits of hell.

Having faith does not mean being stupid. The opposite is true.

To be brief...God allows his followers to endure pain and hardship in order to provide an example to unbelievers that God is all we need. When a person truly trusts Christ Jesus, there is no fear of death in this life.

Although, if I had no soul I could probably do this too, so maybe I shouldn't give them any points for this. That said, yes, it's entirely believable to me that the evil ones at the top could pull this off. They do use scientists and then have ways of keeping them quiet. I know the event in Hawaii wasn't natural because I was there and I felt it. And once I figured out they could do that, this seems pretty conceivable too.

The cashier claimed nobody knows why inflation happens. It just does.

I said, well, we didn't have it 3 1/2 years ago.

The guy in front of me started saying I shouldn't blame Kamala for it. She's better than Trump.

I said, what does Kamala have to do with it? (Not saying, but thinking, she's the veep. She's done nothing.)

"Oh, she hasn't done anything!"

My point exactly.

He called Trump an idiot. I said, you think he's worse than the Alzheimer's patient in the White House?

Whereupon he turned and said he wasn't talking to me anymore. Haha.

The cashier said both are idiots, and I said, sure, but ONE OF THEM *will be* in the White House. Under which one did your paycheck go farther?

She conceded her paycheck went further under Trump. And, I continued, we weren't at war on three fronts: Ukraine, the Middle East, and in the Pacific.

The bible was written by men that were largely unaware of the world outside of a tiny geographic area. They were not aware of the ancient indigenous populations in the Americas or Australia. They did not know where the Sun went at night or that the Moon is not a source of light but that it reflects the light from the Sun.

They thought the stars were just points of light in the sky when they are massive thermonuclear reactors like our own Sun, but many times larger in some cases. The bible is full of errors and contradictions.

There are contradictions right at the start of the Old Testament between Genesis 1 and 2. Read the differences for yourself.

You can NOT overstate how bad things are in WNC.

Water was 6' over the last worse flood in the area. It is a 1000 year event. It is truly unheard of.

yesterday, my son's former 4th grade teacher posted asking for prayers for a fellow teacher in the south of Raleigh who was in the mountains over the weekend and the house they were in just washed away, gone, nada, no more and no one knows where the teacher and her husband are.

A guy hiked miles up to the blue ridge parkway with a list of people they had ID'ed as being ok so he could get a cell signal and call someone to tell them the names of all the people who are ok.

Kids at Western Carolina hiked to the Walmart parking lot where, by some miracle, they could get cell service to call their parents and tell them they are ok. The school is unreachable. No water, electricity or food.

Rescuers were just walking by bodies trying to find the ones they could still rescue.

Chimney Rock: gone

Swannanoa: gone

Black Mountain: gone

So many others: gone

I think the big difference between FL and WNC, WNC had no warning. This was a total surprise. No one was telling people to evacuate. Everyone thought it'd be a little rain, the storm was moving fast, no reason to think it'd dump a foot of rain 3 states inland! AND, they already had flooding rain 2 days before. Tragic, truly.

I definitely think they do. I was on the Big Island when the fires were going on over there and in Maui. Having lived in Chs. for 10 years now, I have a rough idea of what hurricane weather feels like...before and after, etc. This was NOTHING like that. They said the hurricane was 500 miles away. Ok, so why was it impacting us at all? Why were the winds SO strong that they physically knocked us off our feet. We couldn't drive the rental on those roads because it was getting pushed by the wind. VERY powerful wind...like the kind you'd only feel if the hurricane was right on top of you. Yet, the water was calm (people were snorkeling). That is never the case when there's a hurricane - you can't go near the water. There wasn't a cloud in the sky...everything was bone dry. When hurricanes come here, the entire southeast (east coast even) is either raining or totally covered in cloud cover. I don't understand how we could've possibly had hurricane force winds from something 500 miles away and yet nothing else was impacted...no rain, no impact to the ocean, etc. So then the fires hit and this insane wind blew the embers all over the place. It is the strangest thing I have ever seen. I still to this day do not believe that was natural weather.

Trilby- your comment is interesting concerning summer A/C dollars. Do you have dehumidifiers in every room in your home? Do you recommend a particular brand or size? I live in Spring, Texas and my electric bill is averaging $300-$500/month. Just this morning, a friend called and said her recent electric bill is $1400 (although her home is 3 times the size of mine). This senior citizen would be grateful to know how to save $$$ by using dehumidifier(s).

Martin's avatar

If you chose to go the dehumidifier route you would not have to put them in every room. Just put one near the cold air return for your heating and cooling system and set the heating / cooling system fan to “on” instead of “Auto”, and that system running continuously will draw in the dry air from your dehumidifier and spread it throughout the house.

Not sure if these are common where you are (they are on the east coast of Canada) but “mini-split heat pumps” are fantastic. They are electric but heat your home 1/3 the cost of a regular baseboard heater. They turn into air conditioners in the summer (if you need that) and also have a dehumidifier mode which cools things down a lot without using the AC mode, as Trilby noted. (Sorry Trilby, not meaning to hi-jack your post.) We lived out west before (Calgary) where natural gas was aplenty and they were never heard of there, as it gets too cold in winter and they work best at max lows of -20 to -25 C (-4 to -13 F). We also do wood heat as there is no better backup out there IMO.

Expand full comment
Martin's avatar

I’m not sure if dehumidifiers actually help much without also using air conditioning. All a dehumidifier is is an air conditioner that exhaust into the room instead of outside. So while the air coming out of the dehumidifier is indeed very dry is also very warm.

I live in central Florida in a old Doublewide And even though I have improved it it’s still allows a lot humidity inside of it. This year - I presume because of Hunga Tonga and all the water vapor it put into the air - the humidity has been terrible. I usually only run my dehumidifier in the spring and fall when the normal operation of the air conditioner does not keep the humidity down. But this summer I have had to use a dehumidifier regularly. I generally keep the temperature set around 78° and what was happening was the dehumidifier going kept the air conditioner going always so I Finally decided the heck with a dehumidifier I’ll just turn the air conditioner down to 74 or 75 since it’s running continuously anyways and use that to draw the moisture out, because the air conditioning draws the moisture out.
