Destruction from Helene almost unimaginable
Edit: now seeing the devastation in places like Asheville it is a real calamity for so many. My problems were definitely first world ones….
Here’s some video
Original post…
Don’t know how many of you are affected by Hurricane Helane’s destructive path, but here in Georgia over a million were without power. 1/2 have their power back but Savannah is still out, probably till the 1st. My iPads are not mobile equipped and my keyboards non functioning.
I can charge in my car but my M2 pro has usb c and I don’t have the adaptor for USB B.
And, lol, in the internet age I don’t have a radio! I was kinda stunned to realize that.
Not complaining, just reporting. Daily ice trips to keep food from spoiling and battery lanterns do the trick, with my iPhone the last resource for connection with the outside world.
Fortunately, my M2 was at 100% so did some remixing and noodling. 40% has to last me till the 4th. Lol, I will survive.
The most dangerous part is driving with the traffic lights out, but people are polite. Still, there’s accidents around.
No comparison to the horrors around the world. I love the utter blackness at night, but big nearby generators make it noisy.
Anyone else experiencing similar?

I haven't lived in the southeast for ~20 years, but rode out my fair share of hurricanes in Orlando, so I know what it's like. Glad to hear from you, and that you're uninjured and still able to get out for ice!
Hopefully you get your power back soon. Enjoy the dark skies in the meantime.
@tom_ward thx, actually, power came back to my neighborhood five hours ago. Two days ahead of schedule. 14,000 workers are on this with crews from Alabama and Mississippi. Grateful that civilization has returned. I just threw out fifty pounds of ice.
Sorry to hear that. You must be lucky that the hurricane didn't leave more traces in your home.
I've only seen something similar when a sick BMW driver raced through the middle of Frankfurt during a street festival later at night.
He hit one girl who was just crossing the street, then hit a power distribution terminal with his car. I saw a very bright flash and the lights went out completely in this area. No idea if the girl survived, I could hardly see anything, except the lights of another car standing nearby. That happened long ago, in times when mobile phones didn't have torches built it.
That felt really weird.
Coming from a country with a relatively benign climate, even in these climate change days, it came as a shock to me when, on two separate occasions, I experienced hurricanes in the US. Once, whilst holidaying on Hilton Head Island, off South Carolina, it felt particularly apocalyptic, with our hosts in the B&B advising us to get out asap, as the last hurricane they had suffered left the island stranded for over three weeks.
Our own frenzied packing, the threatening skies, the breathless emergency alerts on the car radio as we booked it back over the intracoastal highway, witnessing the panic buying in the beachfront stores when we reached the mainland again, the scramble for somewhere secure to stay, the eerie stillness and quality of the light before the storm hit, all adjusted my view of the American obsession with guns. It felt like, at a stroke, you just couldn’t rely on the regular authorities any more, that chaos was coming, help wasn’t, and only you would be able to secure your own safety… It felt - elemental.
Glad to hear you have power again. I experienced a severe storm in France 25 years ago, nothing like hurricane though, but winds of around 90km/hour and it was pretty scary. The house was shaking like crazy (lost a chimney breast and a fair few tiles, some neighbouring roofs came off completely), and the following day the metal street signs were all bent.
Trying to shut the last window just as the storm hit was like something out of a Buster Keaton movie, my brothers either side of it trying desperately to close it in the apocalyptic wind.
Fond memories of superstorm Sandy in NYC. No subway for weeks and lower Broadway was only illuminated by chemlights. Eerie.
Glad things are returning to normal @LinearLineman - we got off relatively lightly here in Knoxville - only a few hours without power, but Asheville only two hours away is a mess.
@RonnieOmelettes i actually had reservations to visit Biltmore in Asheville this weekend. Fortunately, canceled for other reasons. Biltmore is, of course, closed. I hope the Chihully glass sculptures didn’t break.
Glad to hear you are well and that the power is restored. A friend from work had to deal with tornado damage not long ago but luckily didn't lose his home. Just seeing pictures from his neighborhood made me realize how quickly everything can be gone,
Be safe and take care.
Thx @MadeofWax all good now, but watching in shock what has happened elsewhere, particularly Asheville NC. We were supposed to go there this weekend but, fortunately, had to cancel early. It’s pretty much been wiped out. Unbelievable to see this unfold.
We were prepped and ready. All devices charged and 5 batteries (3x 40k, 2x 10k... Busy family lol) fully stocked, extra flat of water, flashlights charged, candles collected
In direct line of the storm (school closed for two days, preemptively)
And the mfer caught a last minute swoop and went completely around us (under an hour southwest of ATL)
We had rain for days and lots of branches down... And aside from flaky internet for about 30min
Zero issues
The level of blessings afforded to us is not lost on me in the slightest
Witnessing the destruction just hours around us in a few directions is both chilling and humbling
We were without power 3 and 1/2 days. Luckily none of our big tress fell on anything, but our neighbors tree fell on their house, nobody got hurt. My oldest sister is in Asheville. She says it is horrible the destruction. Cell service is shotty there, but she’s been able to keep me updated via texting. She has no power, internet or running water. She said a grocery and gas station are open but the lines are very long. She had prepared some so she has food and water to get by for now.
I can only pray and hope everything is fine with you guys. Loosing everything in a disaster like this, I can’t even imagine consequences.
Down here in Northeast Florida, Helene roared by to the west of us a little. Still got some strong winds and a ton of rain, but never lost power. I did have one pretty good size tree limb land on my house, but no damage to report.
Glad you’re ok Mike! Hopefully they get power restored to everyone soon!
@LinearLineman
Wow, I’ve been out of touch for a few days with really long gigs. I didn’t know anything about this. I hope everyone is safe. I remember Sandy hitting our area very well, there was a lot of destruction.
My mother lives in The Villages, Florida and they dished a bullet, but she was telling me places only half an hour away got it really bad.
Mother Nature can sure be super fierce.
It is weird when it happens the first time, but I have never been that close to a direct hit. We lost power for most of a day because a tree fell across power lines outside our neighborhood, but in the mountains to the north west of us things are really bad.
A friend’s daughter has been making trips to the mountains to get supplies up there for animals, and dropping off supplies for people too. She has stopped now as she doesn’t feel safe now. People taking supplies have been carjacked at gunpoint in one case, and more than a few have had their vehicles broken into by people stealing donations. Most people are just really grateful for help, but it’s getting ugly up there in some areas.
The thin veneer of civilization wears down very quickly when systems are disrupted.
It would seem so based on what I heard. She’s taking horse, dog, and cat food along with water, diapers, and baby formula, and is now scared to go back.
To add perspective… the second hurricane I encountered whilst vacationing in Florida was a bit less apocalyptic. We had holed up in a motel in some small town in Central Florida. The eerie light came again, and then the howling winds and torrential downpour. We realised we had nothing to eat. It seemed unlikely, as I watched a live power line and the pole it was attached to come crashing down in a flash of sparks a couple of blocks away, but my then partner suggested we phone out for pizza. Sure enough, about 30 minutes later of literally gale force winds and horizontal rain we saw a kid on a moped weaving around fallen trees down the street towards our motel, with a Dominos big box on his luggage rack.
We made sure he got one hell of a tip.
WTF. No way. That’s hilarious. I hope the kid made it back safely.
What kind of Jabba the Hutt restaurant owner forces his employees to work in the midst of a hurricane, let alone forcing a delivery guy out there? We live in hell.
lol, was my thoughts exactly, but admit it…at least for me, when i was that young, i would have loved for an excuse to ride a moped through a hurricane.
Quite a few Amazon workers would agree with you.
Pizza the Hutt?
My sister in Asheville says they have power back on. They still have to boil water if they want to consume it. She told me people are using mules to get to hard to reach mountain areas. Heard some real horror stories, like linemen finding bodies in trees. Sad. Both of my neighbors have loaded up their pickup trucks to drive in supplies/donations. And in my area some store shelves are more sparse because people are buying things to send over there.
I am in Asheville (live in Arden technically). My wife is a native of Swannanoa. The destruction has been unbelievable. I have been without power and water for a week. Both came back on in the past two days but have gone out again periodically. 5 trees down in my quarter acre lot alone, one giant one came down on my house which I literally just got removed. It was right over my bedroom as I slept so I’m lucky to still be here. Hundreds if not thousands of trees down in my neighborhood and what was a quaint, beautiful street full of manicured homes now looks like a war zone. Even so, I’m feeling incredibly lucky to live at the top of a hill and to have avoided the flooding. Many towns were essentially wiped off the map…Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Biltmore Village, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Marshall, Spruce Pine, many others as well. Hundreds are still missing. It’s by far the worst natural disaster I’ve lived through and that includes quite a few. Fortunately my family is all safe which is what’s important and as bad as it’s been for me, I am still incredibly grateful after hearing the stories of so many others. There’s been so much help from my neighbors to the govt/military, the outpouring of support and generosity of everyone providing food and water has been really encouraging, and I’m grateful to the line crews from as far as Canada that came down and are the only reason we’re as far along as we are here…but others who are remote are still waiting for help. What a week!
@gkillmaster Are you okay? I recall you being an Asheville denizen, too.
Yeah, beyond Asheville is still bad. My wife and a group of others went there today with supplies. Some places are definitely improved now, and there’s some army reserve up there now with the national guard. There’s some infrastructure that’s just fine or not coming back quickly, so roads and major power lines are kind of secondary now.
One thing that is disturbing to see is how many people are using this as an excuse to promote lies on the state and federal response to serve their political ends. A good example would be two popular social media items - the first being that FEMA have not even sent a single person into the area, and the second being that FEMA is actively stopping private citizens from traveling there and seizing the supplies they are taking. Hmmm….
Wow, I came to report in and saw this. Does my heart good that you remembered me @oddSTAR !
We were some of the most lucky ones here. A couple giant ancient trees fell inches from our house but no damage.
We live in Swannanoa and in places it looks like a giant hand scooped up a bunch of anything and threw it like dice. Busses, houses, cars, roads. So much devastation. I feel so much for those that have been trapped. There have been continual helicopters flying overhead the last several days.
Sorry to hear how it is in your area @oddSTAR
but also glad to hear you and your family are safe!
There are several spots where supplies have been collected and distributed. Pallets of baby wipes, water and for some reason Cheesitz.
For us, it’s been relatively ok though the things we take for granted seem so valuable now that we don’t have them. Like warm food, flushing toilets, water, clean body, road lights etc. ! I used to see bears almost ever day before the storm. I haven’t seen them since. I’m worried about them!
