An awful lot of folks seem determined to rewrite what Hurricane Helene and its aftermath actually looked like.
Let me remind you:
👉🏼whole families were lost
👉🏼communication disappeared during the storm
👉🏼relief trailers sat untouched in Hickory because FEMA “didn’t know how to get them into the mountains”
👉🏼businesses were washed away - many of them will never return
👉🏼there are still road closures two years later
👉🏼parts of the BRP and the GSMNP remain closed
👉🏼hundreds, if not thousands, of families still haven’t had their homes repaired
👉🏼whole communities will never be the same… like Swannanoa
👉🏼Biden’s FEMA skipped over conservative homes and lied by telling the media that bands of armed hillbillies were terrorizing volunteers
👉🏼Cooper started pulling the National Guard out of WNC in November, despite the desperate need for continued debris removal
👉🏼victims were nearly kicked out of their hotels in the middle of a snow storm
And to add insult to injury, now I’m seeing influencers and media personalities tell people we need to “focus on the positive.”
No.
You want to make your little video? Make it.
You want to post your pretty pictures and say thank you? Go right ahead.
But don’t confuse positivity with pretending the devastation or the failures didn’t happen.
And don’t you dare tell generational hillbillies how we’re supposed to feel about Helene.
She stole homes - sometimes even the land under people’s feet. She took jobs. She ended lives. And she reminded WNC that it is the land of the forgotten.
You don’t get to rewrite that experience because the truth isn’t pretty enough for your feed.

Why do people think their #toddler #child or #grandchild is hard of hearing and it is NECESSARY TO SHOUT?
