Sorry this long. I live Asheville(Woodfin)were not prepared. This has never happened. We were so naive and unprepared(at least for myself). I always had thoughts, prayers, and sadness for when I saw others go through this, but now we need prayers. I'm just getting phone service today. My phone stopped working Friday morning. I have no gas in my car because I used the last to take a neighbor to the store Saturday, thinking I was going to get gas while I was out, and there was none. I drained my battery in my car. Charging everyone's phone and my hearing aids, so I can hear. By Sunday, almost everyone phone was dead until about 6:00 a neighbor's son came with a generator. He said he took gas out his boat. I met people where I live, I didn't know. Sadly my hearing aids didn't charge. I had met a girl in my neighborhood, and she brought me to Charlotte, NC because I was having anxiety. I just got cell phone service today, and I almost died when I seen the videos of my hometown Asheville and black mountain and surrounded areas. I immediately felt bad for freaking out over my simple problems of no having lights and water, etc.... I just want to know if it's a light at the end of the tunnel

Its because of the suns cycles and affect of plasma and solar gh flares on the ionosphere. Not co2 or any such gases which make the planet green and healthy. The magnetic poles are shifting, the electromagnetic field is MUCH weaker, and its gonna happen whether you like it or not. Insisting its because of mankind changing the planetary gases is just an ego trip. You wont figure it out being a weekend weather hobbyist. You'll actually have to research it, listen and read. Especially pl as notary and solar research the last 10 years. Taxes wont fix anything except politicians bank accounts.

The wrath of God is coming on the whole world. the sun cycle will take care of us. The cause of erratic weather is the earths weakened magnetic field, the magnetic poles shifting, solar glaring and plasma from the sun destabilizing the ionosphere. They are calling for a micro nova, a solar event and a pole shift by 2050. Its change the climate patterns and probably kill most of mankind, which will be the only thing that saves us. We'll be reduced back to tribes with no technology and will live in the stone age for a while until we make iron forges again.
