Helene misinformation still circulating, apparently
10/21/24 ABC11: Western NC deputy fire chief in Swannanoa begs people to stop sharing misinformation
"This past weekend, a deputy fire chief in Swannanoa posted a strong message on the station's Facebook pleading with people to stop sharing misleading information. Deputy Chief Larry Pierson addressed the images and information that he has seen. He added context to some like the one of a refrigerated trailer being used by a funeral home. He said the facility didn't have electricity."

Hot Springs looks to have been built in the right place -- away from that riverbed. The river looks angry, but the town does not seem to be impacted as much (bridge and on high ground). #HotSprings #MadisonCounty #NCwx #Helene #NCSTRONG

Bakerville, NC. Lots of flooding, but they had very early warning from the NWS to clear out, so that might have saved folks (TBD, they were still cut off from most comms). #Bakerville #NCwx #Helene #NCSTRONG

Food Bank of Carolina is coordinating efforts to get food to those hardest hit.
Financial donations are the fastest and most effective way to connect impacted families with food and supplies.
For every dollar donated, food banks can provide multiple meals of food — far more than any individual can purchase at retail prices

..."I won’t lie: crossing the creek/river, carrying our bikes, on a make-shift foot bridge neighbors pieced together, was dodgy at best. I decided then and there that I would not take the bike across on the way back. We’d hike the two miles up the road...." #NCSTRONG #NCwx #Helene #DisasterReliefTrials

For anyone that has had no power for days, DO NOT Open Your Refrigerator.
Duct tape that thing many times like a mummy and drag it out of the house.
You will never get "that smell" out of your fridge, home, nose or brain.
