I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I moved. When I moved to the mountains in NC I thought my hurricane days were over.

Well they are from me because I moved OUT of there!!!

My old town(s) of Burnsville and Asheville are just crushed!!! If I was still there I'd be in deep crap. The town of Burnsville is no more. The town of Chimney Rock which the wife and I used to go to for breakfast and a walk down the river with the dog is wiped out!.. I was just told that one of the cabins by the river my wife and I had been looking at for buying before we decides to call it quits and head west is now floating down the French Broad River. I was watching what is left of a restaurant that we used to eat in all the time in Chimney Rock and the river ran behind it and there is nothing but the front and some of the structure left...

I'm trying to get in touch with some friends to see how they are doing and no one is responding to my texts.

This just sucks.

Yea, Chimney Rock is gone--just gone.

That’s just crazy…..

I just saw that on October 8th, the gubberment helicoptered in several tons of supplies, to one area that was cut off. Including 2 pallets of battery powered chainsaws. They didn't want to give them gas chainsaws, because of the bad emissions. WTF

Yet as I understand it every power co. truck that is working to get the power back up is either gas or diesel powered.

JAY

Battery operated chainsaws?? And the power is out!
Hope they were charged and came with lots of fully charged batteries!

Cajun Navy is doing far more than FEMA.

In researching the claim of electric chainsaws, all I can find are vague references. I'm not saying they didn't do it, but I can't find anything that satisfies my "BS-O-Meter" that they DID either

I’ve got $20 that says it’s a rumor put forth on the book of faces.
Where everything is true.

Seems it was originally posted on X (Same difference), but overall you MIGHT be correct
I can't find enough to feel confident either confirming or denying it.
Though I am getting whiffs of a rather pungent aroma

I saw the post on Facebook.
It took me about 5 minutes to find this.

She typically does her research, so maybe it’s a true story.
I still believe nothing I hear, half of what I see, and almost nothing I see on the internet.
