    Did everyone here survive the flood?

    In our part of Tennessee, we just got steady rain. East Tennessee got it worse. Chimney Rock NC, one of my favorite places, was destroyed.

    My son, who lives in NC, sent me Before and After photos of Chimney Rock.

    After was totally gone. Absolutely nothing left.

    Just goes to show, they didn't pay enough taxes. They could've avoided the whole storm if they just paid more taxes.

    Just days of rain in drought stricken sw Indiana, prayers for the victims of worse.

    The only advantage of living in the upper midwest socialistic states is that most earth shattering cataclysms (quakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc.) don't affect us, for the most part. Maybe a tornado now and again...but yeah...mostly bupkis.

    My prayers also for those affected by Helene...I can't really imagine dealing with that sort of devastation.

    Despite living on a hillside and LOTS of rain and some wind, this area of ILL-ANNOY east of St. Louis has apparently had no problems.

    And now this

    Thousands of people are under a shelter-in-place order after a major fire broke out at a chemical lab in Georgia

    The unfolding chaos has put added pressure on Georgia's emergency services as Hurricane Helene swept through the state.

    Got about 5 inches of rain and high winds downed several trees in my subdivision. Thankfully we never lost power.

    Chimney Rock was a very cool, very relaxed place. We had a great several days there a few years ago.

    It ain't over yet, boys and girls.

    Milton strengthens to Category 5 and is heading towards FL.

    And now comes the conspiracy theory part...

    HAARP...Geoengineering? The portions of the country being hit, devastated...all heavily right leaning...just before the most important election in US history.

    And remember, the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality is about 6 months.

    It would appear our government is trying to actively sabotage relief efforts in NC.

    This is where FEMA's money went.

    Video shows how well illegal invaders are living on our dime.
