Not climate change sure sucks, don't it, Republicans. Anyway I live up north so I'm fine, at least as far as hurricanes are concerned.
build in a flood plain and that will eventually happen.
I dunno why but those highway exit designs look really elegant
They seem to hold a lot of water!
The most unrealistic thing about this illustration is that the majority of people are recording in landscape.
These assholes are going to vote for Project 2025, which would eliminate NOAA & NWS. Idiots.
Good! There wont be as much flooding if we stop measuring it! /s
Tennessee and Kentucky are far more purple than conventional thought gives them credit for.
I live here and I am not voting that way. I am hoping this wakes some of my ignorant neighbors up.
I assure you they will find a way to blame the blue team that is easily defeated with logic and facts but they will have already made up their mind.
I hope it works out okay for you.
In no uncertain terms: Go fuck yourself.
Homes are gone. People are dead. Most of the lives effected by this will never be the same.
Your takeaway is to try and score a cheap shot regarding voting demographics.
Poor excuse for a human being.
Yes how dare they call out a political party for actively working to make this situation worse
eh, fuck it. Not worth engaging.
Man, some of them, sure. I live here, there are a lot of good people without homes, power and water, or any way out of their neighborhoods right now. I know someone who's whole fucking house just floated down the river, they barely got out with their lives.
Don't make this into some election bullshit when WE ALL KNOW how many people in rural areas just get dragged along by those in power.
I'm waiting to hear back from several people myself. I have no idea if they're okay. One of them is restoring a site off the Appalachian Trail as a historical marker for its history related to slavery, he's genuinely a good person. As most of them are.
Have some fucking manners
Sorry for the losses but shit like this is caused by ignorance for and/or denial of climate change and its causes.
Don't use the victims to silence the solution which indeed is better policies to avoid or at least dampen the impacts of climate change. And it is a political problem that can only be solved by voting for those who take care of the problem and don't deny it.
I wish you and all the people there all the best. And as soon as you're all safe please make sure you all go and fucking vote.
NO. I watched rural Republicans laughing that my state was on fire. I saw them saying we deserve it because of "something something heathens". Nobody deserves it. This is a national spotlight and I'm going to be as clear as day. We have one party who flat out denies climate change, which is directly causing all of this. We have another party who is not doing nearly enough, but at least have some plans. This is absolutely a political problem, because voting for the party who actively denied this is happening is slapping you in the face. You should absolutely be angry at them. People's houses floated away and that party is shrugging and sending thoughts and prayers. Being active now is the empathetic approach.
In that case, heres some thoughts and prayers
Helene was only a category 4 and did this amount of damage. It's insane.
This was also a lot more powerful than the Appalachian mountain and westward communities are used to getting. They aren't set up for it in the same way that communities East of them and on the coast are.
Yeah man-made climate change ain't real, we get hurricanes in Tennessee all the time
If we make it ILLEGAL to Mention Helene Storm then we will SOLVE the Problem!
If we don't test for hurricanes, the problem will go away. Don't look up.
Getting some Chocolate Factory vibes, but it is the scary boat ride part.
thoughts and prayers
Haha. So fucking funny. Omg, my sides hurt from laughing so hard. These people absolutely deserve what's happening because they've been taken in by bad actors and cult leaders.
