I'm so sorry. I would probably leave too. The area will never be the same, and it could take many years to clean up everything. And looking at the damage everyday is just a constant reminder of what you've gone through. God bless you. May you find a new home where you will be happy.

[@scooterrockets7815]

On October 13th, 1976, the 94th Congress passed Law 490 which sets forth a mandate "to develop a national policy on weather modification, and for other purposes." In Paragraph (b) Line 3 it states clearly: "to develop practical methods and devices for weather modification." There can be no scientific discussion on so-called "climate change" without analyzing the 200+ patents on weather modification and ongoing programs well underway throughout the world using active weather modification.

[@helensteen3664]

Agreed and there can be no discussion about the interaction of rainfall and topography without including the impounded water bodies . In Buncombe County alone there are about 80 more than 1/2 of which are classified as high risk (meaning hazard to life).

[@sharonhiatt3859]

It’s irritating, watching so called experts deny the weather warfare, the patents the government has, NOAA has weather modification information on their website. You’d have to be blind not to see the lines left all over the sky. The crazy anomalies happening while watching radar , during a storm. It’s criminal, the lies being told! Look up people, and use commons sense!

[@Baba-fy1jc]

The sum of the interventions that are connected to humans are quite simply a problem. What is being shown has nothing to do with modifications and it has nothing to do with consciously promoted influence. This means that the problem is precisely the fact that everyone does what they want and that no one does what would be best. Humans have partially destroyed the oxygen system and the rainforest and all forests have had a regulating effect until humans have flattened them.

[@Aardvark8]

That isn’t true, the dams worked like they were supposed to at least in most places, had they not it would have been far far worse. I live in this region and for days later we were fearful and bombarded with warnings of dam crests and failures. You just can’t dump 40 trillion gallons of water on a mountain and expect if not to run downhill. In fact after it was all over we were thankful that our grandparents who built them 100 years ago had the foresight to build them for the unthinkable.

What explains the flood of 1916 then which hit much of the same area?

[@futurecorpse7330]

If I remember correctly two hurricanes hit within like 7 days in 1916 and yet helene still had rivers crest 1.5-6ft higher than 1916

[@samuelfink4799]

@ So what are we going to attribute that to? Global warming?

[@Scott-sm9nm]

_ The North Carolina flood of 1916 was caused by a combination of two significant weather events. First, a tropical storm from the Gulf Coast brought heavy rainfall to the region in late June 1916, saturating the soil and filling streams and rivers to their banks. Then, a Category 2 hurricane made landfall near Charleston, South Carolina, on July 14, 1916, and moved northward. This second storm brought even more rain to the already saturated region, resulting in record-breaking rainfall amounts. _ The French Broad River and other waterways swelled to unprecedented levels, causing widespread flooding, destruction, and loss of life in western North Carolina. The flood was one of the most devastating in the state's history, with at least 25 people losing their lives and significant damage to infrastructure and property.

You should believe 35 inch’s of rain fell. Vermont was flooded badly in 2023 with only 10 inches of rain followed by 7 more the next couple of days. The state capital of Vermont had water up to the second floor in some buildings. I wish people would stop with all this conspiracy theory nonsense. When you pump millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere for decades the atmosphere will change. Carbon holds heat more and longer. It’s actually not that complicated and it’s been known for over a century. Sadly this entire area supports a man who says climate change is a hoax and if it is true it’s a good thing since it create more beach front property. His words not mine. Many of the same town in Vermont in 2023 flooded again in 2024 from another storm that fell on the exact same day as it did in 2023. The beauty of science is it does not care what you believe or think.

I know how you feel Carl. Abigale does too. It’s heartbreaking. Love to =each and all.

[@Unsolicitedbias]

Even now in Middle November, the Hurricane Rafael in the Gulf is doing exactly that. It's acting like a huge AC unit, lifting hot water into the air and then that rainfall that is happening all around the center of the storm is falling back from thousands of feet up in the sky. That is like your Air Handler in your house air conditioner. The need now is for us to PUT LESS and LESS heat into the system that is heating the oceans and the gulf. The Heat we add by using our cars excessively is being transferred into the air and into the oceans. The systems like the AMOC are trying very hard to cool the waters, but we are continuing to add heat while the Repositories of Cold, the Glaciers of Greenland, the Artic Ocean Surface Ice, Antarctica's Glaciers and those in the Himalaya's and various high mountains in Alaska, Rockies, and European mountain ranges are being depleted and turned into liquid water. So GREAT, there will be no shortage of liquid water for us to try to capture and purify and drink. But there will be less ICE in the cold regions to buffer the Heat Transfer mechanism. We should not convert any more Glacial Ice into liquid water. We should try to recover some of that ice over then next 100 years, and the sooner the better. Ok?

[@magesalmanac6424]

All wise words. Things will get worse before it gets better with the feedback loops happening, but we have to start changing the way we live.

[@time2see192]

And it would help if they stopped flying planes with afterburners round and round the hurricanes to heat them up, causing SIGNIFICANT increases in hurricane strength and structure! Then if they would only stop the frequency impulses used hold then in place, and to stear them in directions they would never go, to areas that have never had a hurricane, and had no warning; we could go back to NATURAL hurricanes that didn't cause entire towns to be annihilated and see thousands upon thousands of deaths... oh those were the good old days, before too much technology and hundreds of gov patents got into the hands of evil scientists and tyrannical gov.'s, that societies and huge swaths of populations refuse to confirm even exist.... hey, one can dream, can't she? 🤷‍♀️

The AMOC is collapsing because of the magnetic polar shift. The weather we experience has more to do with solar forcing than anything. The sun has far far more influence on both our weather and climate. Stop falling for the lies you’ve been fed.

We’ll see if the mine companies are charged a fine and made to clean up all the quartz sand they dumped for decades as waste that’s now worth 60k a barrel and washed up everywhere from spruce pine to Erwin tn

[@magesalmanac6424]

That’s completely false. Stop getting your “news” from facebook. The blue areas of California are coastal chaparral, and are more built up, so less likely to burn. The east part of SD county (where I live) is much more dry and rural, hence why it is more likely to burn.

[@judyhill4279]

The song was done for the recuers of the flooding

[@AltaCockerell]

More like weather manipulation! 😮

[@midzpodcast]

Referring to the erosion and flooding events in North Carolina - they were caused due to the destabilization of fluvial soil structure due to all the quartz silica mining that dumped sand into the river over time. Destabilization is due to the increase of soil porosity (sand is bigger than clay and organic matter), so the increased porosity allows clay and organic matter to be washed away over time. So a flood happens and the soil goes bye bye gets a massive erosion event that killed hundreds. All due to mining. Xoxoxo

[@magesalmanac6424]

Wow, that is very interesting. Thanks for dropping that knowledge. 👍

[@jeffwestbrook6570]

That does not explain all the places around here that has zero mining. There is more places with mining that with. Not everything is industries fault.

"This is the result of opening the top damn and keeping the others closed purposely to flood these areas as the system is meant to open the top and continue to open the others but they only opened one until everything flooded because when the water they let through hit the second one it spread out because it was closed and the water has no other way to go which caused it to over flow and continue to spread and get worse as it encountered every closed damn on the way down flooding out these towns which is also why many of the small creeks and streams are not destroyed but had it been rain it would of also destroyed all creek beds as well as the river beds had it been the rain the creek beds coming down the mountain would have been destroyed and widened and most of the creek beds didn't swell or get any damage only the river channels .

"WAKE UP CALL:” imagine When raining Creeks fill W/water, we all witnessed The natural rise of Creekwater River water all our lives during snow melts, thunderstorms, etc. what causes 10 foot surges?” increase in depth of that water every 4 hours till A Maximum depth, 50ft is it achieved could the cause .. opening floodgates on four different dams or more, and or including several gates at a time on extremely large reservoirs which do exist north of this destruction be the reason for those surges that everybody testified in the region, it occurred specifically, North Carolina and Tennessee what increased that water they open the next gates you get another surge and an additional 10 feet of water the rivers already full. This is the reality of what happened. There’s no other reason for surge of that proportion in a natural rain in 60+ years on this earth, I’ve never witnessed such a surge until this storm surge i’m top of mountains is also the causes for the extreme displacement of anchored buildings to be washed off their foundations high waters have never done that only a surge can do that and once you got 40 feet of water full of every type of board wood toy, canned goods, bed, frames, cars, tractors, trucks, trailers, wagons, campers, propane, tanks, concrete foundation, blocks, blacktop, and concretebicycles, motorcycles , gas cans, rocks, trees with the roots and tact. Would that not also be the cause of the gorge left in its wake in excess of 20 feet and some locations deeper somethings not adding up and somebody’s lying and if that’s the case that would explain for no government help and a Media blackout in order to take the attention off of what really happened as far as I’m concerned all guilty parties would do everything and anything to make sure the secret didn’t get out & exposed & complete lack of empathy for human life and media attention creating another problem that the people pulling those levers in those locals not only change the land geographically permanently, but genocide their own people in their own communities neighbors kin folk strangers and anyone in their wake & are directly responsible & the ones that should be under the microscope seen as the guiltiest & 30 people could pull off a catastrophe this large, very very easily North Carolina and Tennessee has some very evil tratiors No living among them who will kill hundreds without the blink of an eye, and now that they done it they’ll have no problem repeating on a larger scale.
