Wow this is interesting/ apparently FEMA is building three of these in NC. Armed guards one way in or out. Houses 700 people and by people, I don’t mean the displaced. I’m talking federal employees. and just in case they are equipped with “tornado shelters” WTF???

Very interesting live interview…

“A North Carolina official and former federal official confirmed that deaths have been severely undercounted thus far, partially because many bodies have not been recovered, but also because there are literally piles of the deceased who haven’t been identified and are being transported around the state to find open morgue space. Some North Carolinians have become so desperate that they are burying their own family members in their yards.

“According to folks on the ground — fire, medical, law enforcement officials — they’re way underreporting the numbers. All the morgues are full and they’ve hauled a ton [of bodies] to Greensboro,” the state official said. “People are starting to bury them in their yards because they have no place to put them.”

This is why I have often said that disposing of dead human bodies (and animals) will be a giant, urgent task if The Collapse turns out to be as bad as I think it will be. That has me considering how to help my friends and make money off of strangers who won’t or can’t take care of this task themselves.

So it’s an anonymous official and various locals. No official statement. No hard data showing morgues really are backed up.

I’m being cautious here because it’s easy to fall for confirmation bias.

When Dr Mollie said 15 people died and the state came out and immediately said “misinformation” it confirmed to me at least they were lying. Not to mention the spreadsheets of missing people. Here’s more anecdotal on the ground evidence of them just removing piles with bodies in them not going through them when dogs hit them (there was a another video circulating of fema taking dogs away after a positive hit. TikTok - Make Your Day

I just really hope the truth comes out sometime: to me it feels like they are really disrespecting the loss and dignity of a lot of the lives in western nc

I second the call for not making conclusions without corroborating evidence. As I said in an email to a (probably now former) friend:
“One way enemy states and entities sow discord in nations they want to take down is to promulgate extremist arguments, of which the most effective are well-stated but lacking complete (sound) evidence. That creates discord and, just as potently, it smears sound arguments from adjacent camps. Don’t fall for it. Sure, some people do fall for it and parrot it, but ignore them and engage with those who adhere to the pyramid of evidence.”

One reason I’m dedicated to PeakProsperity.com is that, on the most important issues, sooner or later Chris & Co. will sift truth from the rubble. Of course posts here help him do that, so I’m open to incomplete evidence–just don’t have the time to vet it.

I have an Idea, does anyone have a digital subscription to Asheville’s newspaper.

Look at the number of obits on average for a period from September 27, 2023 to October 26, 2023 then compare to the average number of obits since Sept 27, 2024 through Oct…

I thought about doing this although if they are indeed “shipping the bodies” to other cities then that would be hard to really know

Listen to this on the ground guy doing search and rescue in Swannanoa. TikTok - Make Your Day He lists the exact location where all the bodies have been found Just there and he’s at like 146 he also has some interesting videos about how the government is doing cleanup at night versus the day again just listening through them. He strikes me as someone that’s just telling it as he sees it and he’s out there doing certain rescue every single day.

19 years experience running disaster response. 37 deployments. Says this disaster is uniquely different than any he’s seen.

This guy has been running ops on the ground super interesting interview. https://www.youtube.com/live/yJ5trTWpc_8?si=xJ3soVZvS30shvAJ confirms personally death counts in the ten thousand.

Also calls this “America’s Chernobyl” apparently lots of the rescue dogs are getting sick. People getting sick. Interesting Convo with permaculturist about clean up.

Yes this is the guy I just posted an interview with above!!! It’s INSANE. I thought was the best perspective on the situation yet by far. Thanks for sharing this guy is so impressive and doesn’t strike me as an exaggerator. In the other interview he described the devastation as a 1.5/10 from what he’s seen before but says the response is the terrible part. Everyone should follow and listen to his channel. I’m shocked he hasn’t been censored yet

This is just him doing a run down of “irregularities” between what he’s seen with Helene and the other 37 disasters he’s responded to he goes into a little more in depth discussion on some of the stuff you might also find this one worth a listen https://www.youtube.com/live/yJ5trTWpc_8?si=RrP8lPgyD9bPDcbh

Well the news cycle has moved on. I guess we are going to forget all the people with no homes, no heat, no safe water, etc. Some of us won’t.

x.com More reporting on the toxic mud. This is really sad bc if people start to be afraid of the mud they won’t come help and they need the help desperately but so many people are saying it’s dangerous.

I truly hope that is a very very bad estimate. But the truth is damn sure not being told.
