List: Ways to donate and help flood victims in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene unleashed devastating flooding in the mountains of North Carolina. Here are ways to help local flood victims in Western North Carolina by donating relief funds or volunteering.

Fine, thanks! Generator kept the sump pump going and no big trees fell on our house. Lots of downed trees and tree-damaged house in our neighborhood. We were on the edge of the storm, though. Utter devastation in communities west of us in the mountains.

If I’m posting a comment on a two day old skeet, it’s because I just got my power back on after the storm knocked it out Friday morning.

A Shakman Decree reference on Bluesky. This place does indeed have the juice!

“Republicans believe in the rule of law…” Not sure you’ve been keeping up with current events, Jeff, but republicans wear shirts that say, “I’m voting for the convicted felon.”

I absolutely get that but they’ve got to get on the ground here at the earliest feasible moment. Not just because of the election, but because this is already understood to be the biggest disaster in this region in our lifetimes. An incredible number of dead and missing.

My power’s been out and internet’s spotty here in NC. I’m not even in one of the hardest hit places.

You’re thinking of hamstists.
