    Quotes from the forum from Mercury One !!
    Franklin Graham and Trump on the ground there
    I commend Franklin Graham and Trump for what they're doing for the people in North Carolina.
    I'm in Johnson City Tn, a couple miles from the I-26 closure, and I can confirm that I have seen no help at all

    No pics of damage to show. The boss said mud everywhere from the overflows. Starlink sent 500 units, go Elon. Cletus McFarland is going tomorrow with his new heli to ferry supplies to those trapped. AT&T has mobile towers set up with Firstnet capability.

    becoming more & more & more - obvious that The Darkside is using this natural disaster for revenge - getting in their last chance to punish The People for rejecting them >>>

    a week before the hurricane hit I was fearful about this - Obammy got in his last licks in on TX - this is Biden's

    So glad that Helene when a little bit to the east of the original projected path (it was supposed to come up the Alabama-Georgia line) otherwise we would have been in that watery hell! THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD! I'm also, praying for those folks that are suffering through this SHTF situation in the path of Helene, and will contribute food, money, etc. toward the recovery effort. Those folks are gonna spent many years, maybe lifetimes or generations, trying to recover from this! The sad thing is that before the end of the year they will have been forgotten.

    Boss said Chinooks are up there since he went up Tuesday, and also FEMA is on the ground along with the National Forest Service and cutting a road to the tower site so the generator can be refueled. Apparently a lot of comms on the tower other than just the TV station. He was told a lot of areas getting power but some may be a month or more.
    I was listening to the Mt. Mitchell repeater on Broadcastify. There is a LOT of misinformation being given out by the state about road closures and such.

    Yes , a first 30 hrs of rescue and something he can always remember.
    He was endorsed on it from Paul and then straight to work.

    Zimmy Wait, I'm not ready!

    We always knew we were always on our own. We are survivalists, after all. This is in our lane.

    If any of y'all know a person of need I can send money to I'll do what I can. I don't give a shit if they are evacuees and need beer and smokes and that's all you know.

    Remember, I'm an HVAC guy so I can only do what I can.
