#helene aftermath

[killrisma]

Please keep western NC and the rest of Southern Appalachia in your hearts. Those areas aren’t prepared for hurricanes as they almost never get hit with them. I understand that it can be frustrating to watch some rich influencer on Tiktok decide to wait out the storm in their beachfront property in Florida, but this ain’t Florida, and the folks who’s lives are being destroyed certainly ain’t rich.

Instead of sending hate towards innocent humans that weren’t able to, or didn’t think to evacuate, maybe direct your energy towards something productive like fundraising to rebuild the entire towns that were demolished.

"NHC forecasts of Helene's landfall were extraordinarily consistent, particularly after the PTC stage (beginning with the 5th forecast in this sequence). At that point, all the forecasts fell within about a 40-nm-wide circle, and nailed the timing within ~2 h. (1/5)"

According to Dares the Phrygian Helen has a beauty mark between her brows! What do you know? Greeks possibly considered moles attractive from that time hehe 😜 but now I remember this amazing mycenaean female head from around 1300 BC

And now I imagine Helen when doing her makeup instead of painting the usual sun on her forehead she just draws the dots around her beauty mark instead! 🤔

Hello world! I have internet now (power came back on 3/4 hours ago) and this is a WILD time. My little mountain community I grew up in and the surrounding areas are struggling heavily lately and the emergency responders are so busy and they themselves can’t even reach everyone who needs checking in on due to flooding, mudslides, sinkholes, and over all inability to GET to the patients in need. Everyone please send healing and loving energies to Western NC, the rural surrounding areas alongside creeks/rivers, Burnsville NC, Marshall NC, Hendersonville NC, everyone is hanging tight and leaning on family, neighbors, and overall community. And no one has had phone signal for days, so unless they have now regained power (internet)

We are good over here and the animals have been very brave during the storms and going potty outside, and hanging with us in the candlelight, flashlight glows, and watching the little rascals and crazy rich Asians via the iPad (because it’s all we had downloaded) the animals have been so snuggly and helpful during all this.

Febuwhump day 1, prompt “helpless!”

Helen exists, helps Jon escape the Circus of the Other, and does some self-reflection.

Hey folks, friendly reminder that, even though I might be a queer leftist, I’m ALSO a born and raised country hick. If you’re out here posting that the folks out in west North Carolina (my home state) and the rest of Southern Appalachia somehow “deserved” the catastrophic damage that Helene brought, block me. I’m not asking you to block me for my own internet experience, I’m telling you that it is within your best interest to block me.

To the folks at home who are donating supplies, sharing links, or even just prayin’ or keeping those impacted in your hearts, I love you and appreciate your kindness. Please keep it up, if possible, this won’t be “fixed” in a week, in fact, it never will be. This is Katrina level, there are already 200 confirmed dead, and they haven’t even started looking for the deceased.

I hope everyone reading this has the day they deserve <3

//finally have internet back, i hope those who are still without power and water are doing okay, been pestering my twin about coming over since she and her husband are still without power but luckily everyone in my family is safe, i hope that those in the harder hit areas stay safe and well

[bright-haired-teacher]

hello my friends~

where i live there was minimal damage. i cannot say the same for the people living on the coastal areas. three schools are not opening today with the rest of us because of damage. i have no idea how many of my students will be here today or what they've gone through.

3 school days off and it feels like a lifetime. if you look at the damage from helene and you look in the tampa bay area - particularly the barrier islands - that's what people around me are dealing with. all i got was some small tree branches and a minor fence repair. some people lost their whole lives.

it's the difference between the storm surge areas vs. not. like yeah some trees came down in the non-surge areas, and there was some flooding in the usual non-surge areas, but the storm surge was the big one. that's what did the most. i love living in florida but you couldn't pay me enough money to live on the coast like that.

anyway. i am personally (physically) fine. my house is fine. my dog is fine. mentally, i am all over the place. and i suspect my mental state is going to heavily depend on how my students are coping.

I have a bunch of scenes in my head for a fic where Melanie kills Jon in season four but I can't imagine one where Melanie and Georgie talk after and I feel like that would be crucial to the fic.

A Word About Hurricane Helene

Dear Lord, Thank You that it wasn’t worse and for all those You protected. Now, Father, please give us as individuals, as communities, as churches and as a nation the strength to help all those in need. All those displaced. All those without supplies. All those without power. All those desperately seeking loved ones. All those hurt and injured. All those grieving. All those still missing. All…

"Information from towns and communities in Western North Carolina will be updated and added into this story through out the day. Please check back regularly as we continue to update.

Western North Carolina is littered with small communities and tourist towns that are usually high on the list of places to go for tourists this time of year. If you or anyone you know had a vacation planned for these areas, do not go.

Many communities are without water, power and the resources needed to sustain residents and roads are considered closed in Western North Carolina to non-emergency personnel at this time.

Recovery is a long road ahead.

Here's how towns around that region of the state are faring after the devastating effects of Helene hit the state on Friday and continue to linger as crews continue efforts to clear roads and connect these towns back to civilization."
