FOR ACCURACY AND CLARIFICATION OF INFORMATION GIVEN]
(All my information is either from firsthand experience or from trusted sources working as boots on the ground.)
We need people with a national audience to put the word out.
East Tennessee to Morganton NC is completely compromised.
Towns like Old Fort, Spruce Pine, Asheville as well as Hendersonville and Boone are destroyed and will need months if not years to restore.
Towns like Lake Lure, chimney rock and bat cave are gone and will probably never be rebuilt.
I work for the railroad and the tracks between Morganton and old fort will take weeks to get back in service.
Between Old Fort and the Tennessee State line is completely destroyed.
The national news media is either lying or ignorant about the actual body count.
While I was delivering aid to Asheville a week ago 100 bodies was found in one area.
The death toll no doubt will be in the thousands.
Unfortunately desperate people are doing what desperate people do in the larger cities, reports of looting, mobs, killings and car jackings simply for the gas that is in their tanks. And they feel as though they have no hope because they have no power, No water, no sewage no roads no internet, no phone service and no timeline of when these utilities are to be restored. Many parts of WNC and ET and other parts of the southeast are now effectively a 3rd world country.
People are still stranded in the remote mountains communities with no power, water and cannot leave because the roads have became river beds.
As far as infrastructure, multiple dam failures lead to the tsunami like tidal waves and flooding of many cities towns and communities.
Where towns were, are now lakes littered with bodies and debris, where were roads and highways, are now dried riverbeds because when the water came it completely diverted gentle streams that ran parallel to the roads into roaring rivers that cut 30’ 40’ 50’ and 100’ gaps in road beds and completely washed away bridges.
All major roads in and out of Asheville was completely cut off for a 48 hour time period, many are still impassable.
I40 in particular took a tremendous hit, Old fort mountain took multiple mudslides, and through the gorge going into Tennessee the eastbound lanes fell into the the Pigeon River.
The both class 1 Railroads in the area have suffered a significant amount of damage and hundreds of miles will have to be repaired, undoubtedly some of it will be abandoned, leaving a gap in our local economy for the years to come.
There are stories about people being stranded, starving in the thousands, story’s of body’s
hanging from trees and lining the ditches of roads are everywhere.
Every morgue in Asheville is full beyond capacity, they are stacking them in the basements awaiting the delivery of refer trucks.
There is civilian helicopters flying aid in daily. I can’t speak for everywhere but assistance from national guard units and. FEMA in my area has been minimal, again that is my personal experience. I cannot speak for everywhere.
Please speak up for us because no one else is.
