  1. hi. i live here. with regard to your kind words to **** off i respond: stop running your damn mouth. your "muh russia" doesn't mean a damn thing. time, money, logistics to supply ukraine have been taxed and overdone. we have spent and sent more there than any reasonable person should ever want. it does not take away what has been done. but what has been done cannot be burdened by the undone or whatever that ###### VP says... so going forward, we had a democratic lame duck gov. who has been nearly impossible to find in NC, a candidate running for gov who is our current AG not really doing anything but being quiet so he can win, and a dope running against him who can't even maintain a proper house.... you have private citizens going in their on their own helicopters, celebrities finding ways in, food drives every corner, and private charities and organizations already making headways. Samaritans Purse already has wheels on the ground with planes and more for the area while FEMA is concerned about quotas for their DEI. so, spare me your mouth running and stop or do something about the catastrophe. i'm lucky that it does not truly have any adverse problems for us here 60 miles away but like any time there is a tragedy trying to stand on some morale high ground doesn't work. hi new moron. maybe you should look at what he has already done in tragedy - sending a plane full of good to Hawaii after the fire and hours upon hours before government aid arrived. maybe you should just wait and see what he does or can do and stop opening your mouth (unless you go back to the truck stop because we know you have to make a living).
  2. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4402348,-82.2495433,3a,75y,123.8h,84.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXXn_P0W7FryByAv8D8icdg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkyNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D if anyone is curious
  3. locals are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing showing exactly why locals are more important for governing than federal and even state. gps isn't working, batteries are dead, water is out all over but power in some places. stories we have heard and seen: humidifiers are being used to pull water, boil, and clean it than use it for safe drinking water. stations are being set up along walking paths out for care stations. yard sale style signs up in place of GPS - "drive 2.4 miles to Gum Tree Road, turn left." "drive 3 miles, turn right on Muscadine." 211 and national numbers are getting through to locals to have lists verifying names and survivors. walls, telephone poles, and more sharing survivors names and their destinations so people know where to find them businesses are destroyed but the few that are open - specifically grocery stores - are out of food. initially the stores were not letting anyone in until they were forced to by LEO which is also concerning locals have no idea how bad this is because they don't get to talk to anyone and it's brought on a lot of fear my brother and sister in laws parents took 8 hours to drive from asheville to charlotte - were trapped in their basement as trees crushed their house and water was up to their waist. houses on side of mountains slid down mountain, houses in valleys washed out mudslides are now a major factor and have shut down remaining roads.
  4. some notes from here. the national guard has set up a boundary - no one is allowed in around the mountains. this sounds great until you realize it is the hill people going to help themselves. if no one can get it than no one can get out. the people need help getting out and they cannot the pockets of communities that dot the valleys are entirely stranded and there are truly 1,000's of people missing. lawlessness and looting is happening just to survive places that are open but the problem is the lack of cash - no credit cards, no internet/cell. a friend from Old Fort, NC said the entire town is gone. the closest power, fuel, and food is 2 hours away. they were able to flee and got to michigan this morning at 4am. FEMA and other resources are not existent. There is no one there helping. no one can get in. the plane drops and helicopters just can't be getting to enough places to help people. local people with helicopters have been flying in and still work rescuing people but fuel is running low. nascar driver is flying his own chopper to help. response teams from all over being held off by national guard, including PD's and FD's. there is no one spearheading the ops. that's an issue. there is no command post on this. friends have been sharing testimony of bodies washed around, seeing people floating in raging waters, entire families in houses and trailers being swept away watching them standing in the windows. a mother and newborn child trapped upon a trailer. to make matters worse - rain and storms are starting to roll in. https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/ctid/1967 - one of the harder hit areas. still radio abuzz. i'm not here to tell you what could have been done. i'm not here to tell anyone screwed up. 11-13" of rain was predicted. 20+ inches fell. just found out a friend is alive - didn't think he'd be a casualty but had not heard from him / them. he and his girlfriend do whitewater rafting, climbing, mountaineering. he is doing as much as he can to help. hill country people are different.
  5. this stinks. i was just watching Convoy on Saturday. Rest easy Rubber duck.
  6. amazing the coverage is saying giving it all to Lamar Jackson who did not have a solid game. Two great passes then floating it over our very slow DB's while we stuffed the box on our heels waiting for Henry to run at us. Allen was not at all good which makes this more glaringly sad but Jackson didn't have a solid day. it's hilariously pathetic that this guy gets propped up like he does when he is a system manager who can run the ball.
  7. Allen didn't outplay Jackson at all but Jackson hasn't played an amazing game by any account. He has had 2 great throws. The rest were to wide open targets with no one of them. Floating it to targets, etc.

  21. Somewhere there is a Baltimore fan already saying it. "ravens gonna raven" as he thinks they're about to lose.
  22. Get a touchdown right now and then I'll have some faith.
  23. Wife. Watches 1 hour of football a year. "This is a team that never really comes back when they're down like this...." "But they're gonna win tonight, I just have a feeling" She only saw the first two drives of the second half.
  24. This is a physical team we are playing. This isn't the cardinals.
