Our community burnt down.
Federal government: Whats that? You want more war funding?
Our town flooded.
Feds: Did you say defense budget?
Our water is poison.
Feds: Best we can do is more war...

I ate at the Wendy's 3 weeks ago 😢

I wonder when Israel will send aid to these people?

That was my niece's house (a rental) washing down the street in Asheville. She is safe, but as an artist, she lost all her work, and worse yet, her studio is also gone. She is fortunate that she has family who can help and is able to stay with my brother while
she gets back on her feet. Most people outside of Ashville are too poor to get back on track.

In Tennessee, despite the efforts that have been needed in East TN, they just sent hundreds of our own National Guardsmen to Kuwait this weekend...

[justinlumpkin]

in the wake of this natural disaster in North Carolina, we must send more aid to israel

- Biden tomorrow probably

How many of these people do you think will have to file lawsuits against their insurance because they won't cover them since they didn't have flood protection

[pwettyr]

Another key piece of the story: America's infrastructure is failing and we're spending money on everything but what we need to 😃

[Coats]

How many politicians took bribes to allow contractors to build subdivisions on known flood plains? Don't make the Insurance Company the ONLY bad guys in this situation. They play their part, but so do other unaccountable persons...

Cover the biochemical lab fire in Conyers, GA. Just east of Atlanta. I feel our officials are lying to us about the severity of this and given the corruption here and demographics of the community i feel as though we may be denied due attention, honesty and justice.

Many feel as though we have just been poisoned like East Palestine, OH but likely wont get the same attention. There were reports of clouds of gas descending on certain communities and this could cause some nasty, widespread health issues.

Thank you for reporting on this. I have been in the Asheville area for 10 years and this will change WNC forever. Please help Asheville and the surrounding towns as there is no water, groceries, or gas for many. The response from the federal government has been virtually non existent. Our small communities are strong and banding together, but we need help. Whole towns are gone.

[Free-gr]

The government won't help these people much but at least the US just gave another $8.7 billion for Israel to restock their missile stockpiles!

[Earwithfoot]

The term “Once in a lifetime storm” needs to be retired.

Krystal seems legitimately surprised by how conspiratorial our politics have become as if she doesn’t realize the way the Covid era broke almost everyone.

[GoofusPlays]

Infinite money for ukraine, nothing for american citizens

[talyahr]

As an NC native, I never expected Asheville of all places to be hit like that. And theyre saying theres multiple damns about to break in Appalachia. So it may get worse very quickly. We're going to need a ton of resources to help rebuild.

[Redwd-CROW]

WNC resident here, the damage is catastrophic. It will be a long recovery. First time I’m now able to get cell service to see the damage around us. Never thought Asheville or this area would ever face this kind of catastrophic flooding.

[Opsilverback]

*media lies about everything for years*

Krystal: “I just don’t get the conspiracies about the media…”

[seanzibonanzi]

It's the worst when flooding happens in a place where flooding isn't normal and none of the infrastructure is prepared.

[Marchofthefireants]

I wonder if any other country going to send is aid?

[bapbap]

I used to work in disaster resilience. We knew this was going to be an extremely destructive storm. I left the field two years ago because in my professional experience people don’t care about natural disasters beyond the media cycle.
