Dan Abrahams what Island have you been living on? I’ve been watching coverage for days now ..

@Changeiscoming47 16 часов назад

Speak for yourself, Dan. Plenty of real news outlets have been covering this tragedy for days - what’s your excuse?

@MachinedFace88ttv 13 часов назад

Yeah , and all they say is some boot lick and crap like " let's not play the blame game " CUOMO your complacency CAUSE THIS . This is an obvious failure caused by INACTION to repair infrastructure from last disaster 2011 2014 flood, this is a result of BAND AID INFRASTRUCTURE. Thats what you get for being frugal with your taxes !

Well I can tell you how it happened, they had gotten a lot of rain for 2 or 3 days before Helene got there, they were already having aerial flooding, I don’t think anyone thought Helene was going to drop over 20 inches of rain in one day, the remnants of Helene is still bringing scattered rain to NC. And the reason it took so long?!?!! There’s no roads open, they either washed away or damaged so bad that it’s dangerous to drive on them, then there’s the fact that airplanes can’t land because there’s no landing strip, they’ve open a interstate finally and helicopter’s are flying in food and water constantly

You carolines think youd would learn a lesson the first time ten years ago. Make more robust drainage lakes . It was 90 plus degrees all summer.

Having rain not even record setting before a hurricane should not cause this. Maybe it's because this is a city built like it's eighteen ninety

Heavily wooded around power lines, rivers in mountains running next to all the mountain towns. Trees tore up all land and power lines around them and the 2 ft of rain and rain days before the hurricane hit the area....major flooding washing everything away.

@TheJanet4321 16 часов назад

It happened because science has been ignored for DECADES, I feel terrible for everyone impacted by this hurricane, but I assume some states, other than Florida, weren't quite prepared for the impacts they witnessed, making this situation all the more challenging and horrifying. Prayers for EVERYONE impacted by this terrible hurricane.

Extensive rain in a short period of time on top of recent previous heavy rain. Towns and homes built next to rivers and streams at the BOTTOM of valleys. Rivers held back by dams that did not draw down early enough to prevent overtopping or the need for massive discharge. People who did not evacuate or plan for a flooding disaster ahead of time. Area known for flooding for 200 years yet people perched on the lowlands are surprised.

@MachinedFace88ttv 13 часов назад

@Celtic_Amy 4 часа назад

It rained enough to flood before Helene. Then the hurricane dumped another 15 inches. The one town assumed the river would hit 19feet, but it hit 27 Feet. These towns are at the base of mountains. Flooding and landslides. For Asheville if you were on one side of town you could get out. Other parts of town people are cut off because the roads washed away. If they get power and cell service back up, we will know more. A work friend here in Ohio lost power all weekend so he didn't see the news of Asheville. Then his sister called him on Sunday and he had no idea what had happened until she called. So its on the news, but those who are in other areas damaged by Helene don't know.

People we know who lived there a few years ago said how beautiful it was in this area. They also said how many rivers there were and forests of pine trees. Every hurricane since we've been praying it didn't find those pine trees and the rivers below the mountains. Please be safe and speed help to those poor folks.

No it is not odd, if you understand science. No cloud seeding involved. You have lots of rain hit an area to saturated the land, then you put a fast moving tropical storm (hurricane) into mountains to limit the movement of said storm and you then have a catastrophic flood

Biden Immediately made all the funds available the governor is asking for (according to the governor himself). So please don’t use tragedy as a political pawn. If you want to make it political the GOP threaten to shut down the country days before landfall. And even with the continuing resolution that passed there is no disaster funding included in it. FEMA is set up there however… the roads are wiped out and/or covered in debris. Now I haven’t seen a level of destruction as this storm brought but I did see what Sandy did to mountainous areas and it takes time to clear up debris and make it so rescue crews can get in there.
