It's painfully obvious how little information is getting out about the catastrophic impacts of on the southern Appalachians. Please help spread the word. The entire area is devastated. Death tolls in the hundreds and climbing. Tens of thousands of people whose homes and livelihoods have been destroyed.
The impacts will be generational. Share and help, please.

I am currently focused on helping address the catastrophic impacts of Hurricane Helene in Western NC. Anything unrelated to response and recovery efforts will be delayed. I appreciate your understanding.

@DrTCombs But, when you live in the USA you are not supposed to use the words Climate Change in relation to this catastrofe.

@TuutW @DrTCombs So true. I was watching live feeds on Helene's landfall, skipping between 3 Florida TV stations, and any mention of climate change was swiftly removed from chat. Madness.

@Nazani @TuutW @DrTCombs
Wrong time for this....I get your point, but really wrong time. And don't respond when is the right time. I can just tell you it's not right now.

@amyedge @TuutW @DrTCombs Sure. Let's hasten to rebuild communities in mountain valleys that are sure to flood again, & let's not consider drainage solutions or elevated structures because it may upset people to grasp that the world has irrevocably changed.

@Nazani @TuutW @DrTCombs
There are a lot of dead people. They haven't even begun the recovery. Wait a month on this conversation.

@amyedge @DrTCombs You sound like the NRA, it is the right time, I assure you. You can help and protest because Bigoil is killing your people and they know this for very many years already.

@DrTCombs All made worse by roads & bridges washed out, making some areas unreachable. We need a Northern branch of the "Cajun Navy" & perhaps some drone deliveries of necessities.

@DrTCombs The devastation caused in Appalachia by hurricane #Helene conflicts with the “#ClimateChange is a hoax” narrative that guides much of the local media and its required ‘thinking’. So there is confusion and noise that interferes with communication. 🤫
