I am both sad and angry.
The Smokies are iconic for their beauty!
This gave me deja vu of the Paradise, Ca. and Lahaina, Hi. disasters. The residents of those also-beautiful places were lost track of and memory-holed pretty fast.
I pray I’m wrong, but I have become so cynical about the (15-minute-city-loving) “Leadership” that I figured those people were Eminent-Domained out of their private land, and that this quaint, picturesque area may end up the same way, too.

I have felt that this hurricane was the result of weather tampering. Am I becoming paranoid about these things?

A storm like this is not new.
Hazel (1954 — made landfall in North Carolina as a Category 4; killed 175 in the U.S. and caused the highest wind ever recorded in Philadelphia), Hugo (1989 — with extensive damage to South Carolina and North Carolina), Floyd (1999 — with 105 mph winds when it made landfall at Cape Fear, NC) and Sandy (2012 — with serious inland damage as far north as New England) — these are some of the hurricanes of the past.
The science for creating major hurricanes is very unlikely. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m skeptical.
Not that weather engineering doesn’t exist, but this kind of storm involves massive atmospheric systems and trillions of gallons of water. It’s beyond human intelligence and means.
The idea that scientists can create (or prevent) hurricanes and tornados feeds into the whole UN 2030 agenda. If humans can control the weather to that degree then why not create international bodies of weather managers who will tell us how many children we can have, when we can drive and when we can exhale our noxious breath into the atmosphere?
There are fear campaigns on both sides — from those who believe in catastrophic global warming and those who believe in catastrophic social engineering.
My prayers go out to all those affected by this terrible storm. Our federal government cares more about the defense of a foreign government than it does about its own people.

What do you think about this?
Extract:
At one point in the interview, the men explained how the federal government is actually impeding the rescue efforts (this conversation begins at roughly the 6:38 mark).
“The federal government, none of them are there. And the county officials, they don’t want us in there. We actually were turned away from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, and we were turned away by the police. We also had a news crew in there from a national news agency and they were not allowed in. So there’s criminal activity going on.”
It also must be said that this catastrophe is taking place is Trump country. Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, upstate South Carolina and parts of Georgia, the very areas hit hardest by the hurricane, are overwhelmingly voting for Trump in the November 5 presidential election.
I do not think that the government would have to go to such lengths to prevent a few thousand Republicans from voting. The Democrats have about 30,000,000 non-citizen parasites who’ll be happy to cast their ballots correctly.
If these accounts are indeed true, I think it’s tragic that anyone would think Trump gives a hoot about them.
