Floods like this happen all the time
And if they don't it's still a very natural thing to happen
And if it's not, it's a cycle and it's been the same since historic times
And if it's not then you shouldn't build near water

My sister is in Asheville. She now has no car and just got electricity back on 2 days ago.
She says that her home will not have access to water for 3 months.
Shit's fuckin' bad.
I’m sure disbanding the EPA and NOAA will fix the weather.
Yeah, hearing similar things from others; it takes a really long time to fix the utilities when the roads are washed out all over the place, and need to be repaired to even bring heavy equipment in to many locations.
All this is doing is proving that god is an asshole.
Except the GOP will absolutely double down and claim that everyone who got hit did something to deserve the suffering.
I have eaten there many times at this location.
I was just going to say, I drive past this place almost everyday. It's wild to see Asheville everywhere online. Hope you're doing well JimmyBigSausage.
I am well. I live out west now. Thank you skinless_corpus. Hope you are well too.
We're good here. I'm north, off of Merrimon. Still no power. Most of Merrimon seems to have it, except us.
You got your lemmy client on a generator? Or Is therr somewhere nearby that has power
I have cell service.
I hear they're serving fish now
Sir, this was a Wendy's.
Now please stop rolling coal and spraying aerosols performatively to "own da libs" and swim to the next window
If it was a Waffle House it would still be open.
And safer then usual.
"FAKE NEWS"
The move they're making is to claim that Democrats control the weather and inflict storms like this on people. It's bullshit, like most of their other claims, and really reeks of desperation.
to claim that Democrats control the weather
Are you serious?
Wait till you find out what is going on with the permafrost at the Siberian flats, Alaska and elsewhere. If you freeze stuff in a refrigerator, the power goes out, well all that decomposing stuff will give off gasses and those gasses are way more potent as a greenhouse gas than c02.
I am so ashamed of my state. My school made a big deal to teach us about the environment and yet so many of these chill billy garbage freaks don't care. The worst are the fishermen, if anyone should know better its them.
I miss old school green peace that used fuck up trawlers and spike trees. But that time is gone now.
Moved there in my mid 20's. A few years after there was a "The Flood of the Century". They found the McDonald's Grand Piano standing in a field on the Biltmore Estate. By the time I got there the damage was mostly cleaned up to the point you couldn't even tell there was a flood.
Used to say that Asheville doesn't really experience natural disasters...gonna keep my mouth shut from now on.
Stay strong Asheville...
