Central NC here: airdrops have been happening since Saturday. Even pilots with small private aircraft have been ferrying supplies and bringing back victims.

I live in Shelby NC and I have never seen anything like this. Asheville and Chimney Rock were devastated.

Prayers to everyone. You were always living in a flood zone from that river. When buying a home please do research on the area. Flood zones should remain as such.

my heart goes out to the people of NC, but maybe instead of focusing on one place show how almost the entirety of southwestern virginia has been rocked, tennessee, some of kentucky. I live in rural Virginia and NO ONE has reported on the mudslides, missing people, the fact our water supply has been contaminated, no fuel. We need help here too…

[@sunrisetide]

This has been happening worldwide since atleast 2018. It is only a big deal for us when it hits our own soil. The Lord has withheld the destructions from this land because He has given us extra time to get things in order, to repent and turn to Him.

Side note. Check this out. Every single female news broadcaster in this country no matter where they are from what area they are speaking from, their own nationality or how they might talk. They all speak with the same voice. They all speak with the same tonality. It's a lower, back of the throat kind of sound. But you can listen to a black lady from the south sound exactly the same as a white lady from New Hampshire or San Francisco. It is hilarious.😂😂

[@bumblebootwiddletoes5185]

Odd comment. Newscasters are trained to speak a certain way.

[@216trixie]

@@bumblebootwiddletoes5185 odd comment? You're making my point. They are trained to talk that way. And I think it is hilarious that if you go to any part of the country you're going to hear different dialects in different regions and areas. But every TV newscaster especially the females, from every new station across this country sounds exactly the same and they don't sound like any woman I've actually ever heard. It's hilarious.
