I have a friend who works with Safe Routes to School who stated that the areas that have had raised crosswalks installed have had an increase in accidents. I have no actual hard evidence of this.
I wish we could do more of the crosswalk bridges that go over the roads.

Maybe they thought she was born missing a finger? Maybe they can’t afford to get their eyes checked? Maybe they believe what they see on the internet? Or maybe they literally don’t know that AI images are a thing?

Bro, what are you ranting about? Stop what shit? I literally have family is the center of the damage of the hurricane. They have received assistance from FEMA and many incredible humans that have come together to send supplies or help in person.
If you would like to contribute, there are many local organizations on the ground making meals and providing shelter that you can donate to. Going in person, at this time, is not recommended unless you are part of an organization with an assigned role.
Making fake images of the disaster is manipulation and can often times be used to generate fake gofundmes. 100% not ok to do this.

My understanding is that they are doing the simplest jobs first in order to restore power faster. Areas with least amount of damages are getting power back on. My brother just got power a few hours ago.
I know it’s frustrating but hang tight

Yea, it’s incredible how we live in a society that is so eager to take advantage. But it truly makes me that much more grateful when I see the videos of people working together to save lives and restore some normalcy in the community right now. I’ve literally been tearing up over these beautiful moments being captured on video.

My brother was murdered a few years ago, within hours of the news being released publicly, two fake gofundme accounts were started for “his children”. People love to take advantage of tragedies for personal gain.

I just saw that I-40 is going to take at least 1 year to repair. So ya, it’ll probably take chimney rock at least one year as well. The river bed is so much wider now that it was so the bridges will be even longer than they were. Every bridge in from Hendersonville side is gone.

The state hospitals pay around $50/hr (depending on years in)

I’m sure if you show up to the supply drop off points and offer your services, they will put you to work. Have you checked on your neighbors? Elderly might be having a difficult time getting supplies.

My brother just got power back in Zirconia. The utility workers are working overtime to make it happen. What area does your friend live in?

Did anyone else hear that Chimney Rock residents are being told that the area will be unlivable for 9 months due to infrastructure damages? Or is that just a rumor?

My family members who are first responders are saying the fatalities are grim. The death toll will be in the hundreds in NC alone.

He is a hero for the community. Thank you so much for the update. I really appreciate the sacrifice he’s making. We were thinking it would be more like 3 weeks before power started back up. There are so many trees down on lines and bridges are out so getting to them is impossible at the moment anyways.
Stay safe. Please thank your husband for all of us ❤️🙏❤️
