My sister is in Asheville. She now has no car and just got electricity back on 2 days ago.
She says that her home will not have access to water for 3 months.
Shit's fuckin' bad.

Yeah, hearing similar things from others; it takes a really long time to fix the utilities when the roads are washed out all over the place, and need to be repaired to even bring heavy equipment in to many locations.
This is what happens when the Frosty machine breaks and thaws out.
Floods like this happen all the time
And if they don't it's still a very natural thing to happen
And if it's not, it's a cycle and it's been the same since historic times
And if it's not then you shouldn't build near water
And if you didn’t build near water, yeah you did.
And if you did, well then just move.
i heard aquaman is buying flooded houses to rent out to the fishies

I have eaten there many times at this location.
I hear they're serving fish now
With or without scuba gear?
I was just going to say, I drive past this place almost everyday. It's wild to see Asheville everywhere online. Hope you're doing well JimmyBigSausage.
I am well. I live out west now. Thank you skinless_corpus. Hope you are well too.
We're good here. I'm north, off of Merrimon. Still no power. Most of Merrimon seems to have it, except us.
Hope you get it back soon! I used to live out Beaverdam Rd. and haven’t heard any news from that area. The one person I contacted that lives out there has not responded. :-(

Can't speak for the upthread poster, but I keep a portable 20w solar panel around to charge my cell phone and satellite transponder in emergencies.

"FAKE NEWS"
- The right-wing, probably
The move they're making is to claim that Democrats control the weather and inflict storms like this on people. It's bullshit, like most of their other claims, and really reeks of desperation.
