We stayed in Tallahassee last night.Well then, be safe buddy!
Some counties are going to be without for a while! They can’t even get to some of these areas.
North Carolina Power Outages Map, Jan 2025
Theres so many volunteers itching to help out, but they’ll become part of the problem until the locals get a handle on what and where it’s needed.
So sad to see all this.

The amount of devastation up and down floridas gulf coast is something I’ve never seen in my 30 years of life. A lot of people need help guys.

I will not be posting anymore pictures just out of respect for everyone but know if anyone is around and wants or can lend a hand it’ll be much appreciated.
This is why I never take pics. There is a big group of us from Ohio here helping when people in Ohio need help too.

It’s needed all throughout the southeastern US and now into the Midwest.
There’s no way to compare what we did today, vs what others are going through. But we went down to our son’s place and helped him clean up. He had a smaller tree leaning on his house and over his roof. Got it whittled away and removed. Then started cleaning up the debris. Wasn’t much damage in or around where they live. Luckily it was all west of them.
We have now received word from my aunt (in her 80s) and her kids 52-63yrs old. Not all have power, water, or ability to leave their local areas yet, but all accounted for. My aunt got power back which was the biggest fear because she is in oxygen. Their areas of WNC got rocked pretty good.
Anyone follow.alomg with Garrett Mitchell aka Cleetus MacFarland? Does crazy builds and promotes races. Bizarre stuff. Buddies with Whistlin' Dixie, Heavy D of Diesel Brothers, etc. Just does goofy social media stuff and has a crap ton of followers/views.
He hosts a show at the "Freedom Factory" called Cars and Copters. He bought a clapped out helicopter out of Venezuela. Stripped it down and rebuilt it. People followed along. Pretty cool deal.
Fast forward to the flooding and hurricane events unfolding. He has taken the chopper out for search and rescue missions along with getting supplies to stranded people. Pretty friggin awesome when celebrities do good and it isn't just for publicity.
This gains attention and makes us feel good. Let's not forget the heroes who don't get any media attention or spotlight. The efforts of the linesmen, utility workers restoring services, and local do gooders is not lost on me. Plenty of local nurses, EMS personnel, and friends and neighbors are doing a lot of selfless things right now. It is appreciated.
Edit: helicopter came from Venezuela. I said Argentina. Changed it.

It’s bad down here on the western side of the state. How bad was it?
The news is not getting better, Buncombe alone has 600 people missing. No word on the other counties. The small communities get forgot about.
