#my favorite hurricane

[jediexile]

I live in Western North Carolina. I have no idea if anyone knows what is going on here. I finally have gotten sufficient enough cell service to get online.

We are never going to fully recover. Whole towns are gone. My town was flattened. My street, a few miles south of town, was spared. We had no power or running water for four days. We lost hundreds of dollars of food from our fridge and freezers. We have no internet and no idea when it will be back. I work from home. My partner works two jobs - or worked, because one probably doesn’t exist anymore. My car took minor damage from the storm. Even if we had jobs, we probably couldn’t get to them. We got really lucky.

I so far have not lost anyone. Many of my friends are displaced. Some watched their homes be swept away. Some of them lost their pets. Some of them had to dig their children out of mud.

People - not organizations, not first responders, not the government - are clearing roads, doing welfare checks, forming groups of riders to take supplies up mountains on horses and mules. Private helicopters are landing in the middle of my town to drop supplies. They are doing this all over, all day, an essential lifeline for our cut off communities. The bigger cities are getting a more organized response, especially Asheville, which was essentially cut off from incoming vehicle traffic for a few days. Thank god the airport was spared.

I lost cell service, then internet, then power, from 7:45-8:20am Friday. I had no communication until Saturday. I was able to get a few texts out. I was able to get into town. Children’s toys were in the street. Some of my favorite businesses are gone. I saw a car part way up a house.

Please, send help. I don’t know what organizations to donate to. Any time I get online is spent networking relief efforts and getting the word out about missing persons. Keeping my family updated. Applying for FEMA assistance and mortgage relief. I have heard Blue Ridge Public Radio has a list on their website.

The death toll right now stands in the 50s. It is going to end up in the hundreds.

I am so heartbroken.

Right Wing Politicians: and you want to know why we keep having these huge storms and devastating hurricanes?! why don't you go ask you favewit wittle democwats about their hurricane making machine? hmmm?

Me, my eye twitching in rage: ...so, you admit that modern, man made technologies can and do have an impact on extreme weather conditions that can cause long lasting damages and harm to our environments and communities?

RWP: what? no I never said any such thing

Back again with Henry's annoying ass roommate. Hope he doesn't stay long.

Read Wild Cat here :3

Going to take this time for fun Billy trivia :3

Basic Info: William (Billy) Afton is sixteen/seventeen years old in the year 1964, his birthday October 10th, 1947. He lives in London, England, not really having much of a place to call home. Recently a couch crasher at Henry's. He's 6'1 (186 cm, tall bastard) and he's thin and spindly, probably could be snapped like a twig.

Billy hates being called Billy. Billy is what his father calls him, and by proxy, that's what everyone else calls him. He really prefers William but won't pester if someone calls him Billy. Henry is really the only person that calls him William. I call him Billy to distinguish between younger Will and older Will.

He straightens his hair out a lot with so much grease it's unholy. He hates his curly hair, but as the series progresses, he wears his hair down more often as he grows more comfortable.

Despite his insistence that he is not clever in the slightest, Billy is quite bright. He has a fluency in numbers, the natural world, and communication. Billy's favorite hobby is taking things apart and putting them back together. However, he's not as skilled in organizing, planning, and machinery as Henry is.

Celia's really out here waking up in the middle of nowhere with the level of inconvenienced annoyance that you can only get after finding yourself in the same bad situation way too many times. Straight-up treating her extreme sleepwalking (sleepteleporting?) as if it's an ancient dishwasher that you have to start in a super specific way or else it floods your kitchen

I'm still feeling so many emotions about that last post I reblogged. Jesus Christ. So much is gone

found my first ever american girl doll at a used doll sale for $35! had her school outfit and meet underwear/shoes, everything minus her bonnet and hair ribbon (gave her a new one, might make her a new hat.) her only issue is that her limbs are pretty floppy esp her legs, maybe one day i'll learn to restring her, but for now she can just sit nicely. i have weak hips too girl i get it. been wanting an 18 inch doll to sew and crochet for and just couldn't pass her up, from my rudimentary research i think she's the felicity that was being sold when i was a kid too

and yeah she has a little friendship bracelet from one of her old homes that i just had to leave on :')
