Tenn NC border. I40 catastrophe.

Along the Tennessee/North Carolina border, a section of I40 has slid into the river there.  Trying to bring over link.

Those are the new descriptions for Trump and Vance... the Outlaw and the Hillbilly. There is even a song about them on YouTube. 

Latest reports from the area indicate folks there are getting back to normal, whereas before it was primarily search and rescue. That is still going on, but gratitude foremost as people get on with their lives. 

Yesterday, I believe it was, a rescue team dug out a mud covered church and found many living souls there. God is good... all the time.

We are Brevard NC   

 

Update!! 10:45pm ET 10/1/24

The mule team had a successful day today, and they were able to bring mule loads of food and supplies to many residents in Black Mountain. All went smoothly, and the mules and packers are resting for the night! Their plan for tomorrow, is to bring supplies, food, and check on residents' needs in an area towards Swannanoa, where it is believed 30% of the town's residents are trapped and can't get out. This will be a busy day for the team, and we pray for their safety and stamina!

Here at home, we stocked up on a huge amount of supplies, thanks to donations of so many!! And, Tractor Supply generously loaded a 24' stock trailer to the brim with plenty of livestock and pet food and also lots of gear like tarps, batteries, lights, work gloves, brooms, and shovels. Then we met at the Food Lion in Cleveland, NC to collect food and supplies brought by those that wanted to donate. It was so moving and beautiful to see people lined up bringing bag after bag, box after box, and case after case for the cause. We all had tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats as we joined together for a common cause. The devastation in the mountains has broken all of our hearts, but we are thankful that even in this sadness, we see God working through so many wonderful people. We will continue to praise HIM!! Thank you, thank you!!!!

This situation has gotten so much worse, it seems impossible to fathom. Seems FEMA has commandeered incoming rescue supplies to divert to the undocumented. It sickens me to even bring this here, but I'll try to stay with facts.

Truckers have reported cement barriers across access roads around Ashville. No in or out traffic.  Rescuers are hiking in by foot with supplies.  

Remember Hawaii?  Same there.. would not let the people escape those fires. No house with a blue roof burned. Oprah's house had a blue roof... totally fine. 

Morale of the story, under this area is a huge lithium deposit worth billions. What is lithium used for?  Batteries that those odd looking electric cars need to run on. 

This story is so deep... weather manipulation... land grab... and perhaps most telling of all the upcoming election. Desperate people willing to do anything to win.

Me?  I'm sticking with the Outlaw and the Hillbilly. God bless everyone, and God bless America.

And me too.  Sticking with the hillbilly and outlaws for helping people.  They just have to be smart to get around the barriers that FEMA is putting up.  And they are.  Horses, dirt bikes, and atvs can go places where vehicles cannot.

My internet is out the entire weekend.  So I am using a hotspot from my phone to use my computer.  And for some reason, this works better, then trying to use my phone's browsers.  Go figure.  Any how I wish I could afford starlink but too expensive as the service I had to get at this new (old) house is the cheaper crappier internet provider.  So I won't be online too much until maybe Monday night (that's when the internet outage is to end).

Grey Team is  feeling grateful in Johnson City, Tennessee.  · 

  

After convoying from across Tennessee, more than 50 engineering specialists from Trenton’s 230th Engineer Battalion and Knoxville’s 134th Air Refueling Wing, have arrived in Johnson City to assist in restoring critical infrastructure and debris removal in the affected areas. #AlwaysReady #HurricaneHelena #greyteamhq #nationalguard

I saw a report that I-40 between Asheville and Knoxville may not be open until September of 2025.   It could take a whole year to repair that mess.
